And also note embeeded(!) firebird is still behind the "Use experimental features" bar.
if( !officecfg::Office::Common::Misc::ExperimentalMode::get()
&& sURLPrefix.startsWith("sdbc:embedded:firebird") )
continue;
So people using it should know it's experimental, since you need to manually enable it, otherwise it doesn't appear.
Connecting to some firebird is non-experimental.
So ignoring this is even an argument that this isn't "grave" at all, as bad as this is...
