Hi Don! Not sure about the future of Drizzle + PDO (I'd love to see that myself) but in the interim, you can always talk MySQL to Drizzle which means you should still be able to use PDO. You won't be able to use all the crazy cool features of the Dirzzle client API but can still use many of the other Drizzle features. In other words, it should be usable right now without having to do a lot of crazy stuff.
