Yes, this change was made in master and also pushed into the 6.4.4 branch - it was deliberate. The reason is that the embedded Firebird support code just too much of a liability at the moment, and virtually no one is fixing the bugs that its introduction has created, or the bugs for features that one would expect to see in such an engine, but which haven't been implemented in the LO code. It was a whole sorry mess, just waiting to explode in the faces of unwitting users, so it was felt better to switch it back to experimental, that way, if people hose their data with it, they will have made the decision knowingly, rather than by default building their hopes up and then kicking them where it hurts. At least with embedded hsqldb 1.8.0, we know where all of the problems lie, and the documentation doesn't need to be rewritten for a new db engine that doesn't deliver on the promises our marketing communication was so keen to tout (the engine itself is actually pretty capable, its just the implementation within LO that is somewhat lacking).
