Mark,
A good post as this sums up the issue. I only hope that the core team
are listening as what happens to a project when the developers ignore
the users?

The main point of an API is to allow developers to*use* Firebird, so
please do not alienate those users as their concerns are valid and should
be taken into account. And if people already using Firebird voice those
concerns, what do you think happens if people evaluate Firebird for use? If
the choice is between a legacy API that doesn't expose all (modern)
features of Firebird or a C++ API that is only really usable from C++ or
requires catering to the demands of some weird calling mechanism (note: I
am exaggerating), then they'd probably take their business elsewhere.
