I completely disagree. What possible reason would a CFML developer have for
creating a JDBC driver? Every major database provides one, Macromedia
provides a set, and there are various open source ones. In short, a CFML
developer may pick an appropriate JDBC driver, but would never consider
building one simply because all the needed drivers already exist.

Compare this with an event gateway, which is still undefined, so the only
possibly supplier will be Macromedia. Will Macromedia provide an event
gateway for every need? I doubt it and you don't seem to be indicating that
anyway. Thus, it is possible and likely that a CFML developer will want an
event gateway that is not provided.
