Well, Red Hat's gotten bug reports on it from paying customers, eg
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=162676
so *somebody* out there is using it.

To my mind the text driver is useful because it allows testing unixODBC
without any dependency on any external database solution; though I grant
it might be too simplistic to be good for very much in that line.

That would be a feasible solution I guess.

BTW, how come you removed the mysql driver as obsolete (which it was)
and kept the postgres driver (which is too)?  For Fedora/RHEL I'd prefer
to be shipping just the separately maintained mysql and postgres
drivers.
