It is very simple to comment others idea as FUD without responsibility, 
but that is totally another story if works is supported by indeed 
research progress.

I have upload my research progress to sandbox 
(http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/sandbox/hswong3i/siren/), 
a patch for Official Drupal 6.0. By applying the patch, we are able to 
support totally 9 PHP drivers (including mysql, mysqli, pgsql, oci8, 
pdo_mysql, pdo_pgsql, pdo_oci, pdo_sqlite and pdo_ibm) within single 
core code base. Progresses are also split into number of small patches 
(http://groups.drupal.org/node/8663), and ready for review (or even 
commit). I dig into this field for more than year, and I am also willing 
to keep it on going, for both MySQL/PostgreSQL/Oracle/SQLite/DB2/etc.

Please provide some solid research progress (but not code snippet in 
brain storming level) to support your FUD comment, or else it is totally 
not fair.

Regards

instead of FUD and confusion. And yes, it is a very good idea to move db 
drivers into contrib -- provided that core is capable of proper support 
them. This is what Crell and I are working on.
