Databases and applications still using dialect 1 should simply take the effort now to switch, or remain left behind on Firebird 2.5 max. It is the consequence of a decision to continue to use a legacy option. Continuing support for dialect 1 in Firebird and creating workarounds to that end just because we don't want to leave anyone behind is - IMHO - a waste of effort and time that the Firebird project could better spend on other things.
