Sorry, I can't follow you.
You say native driver + AdoDB is better and you can't use PDO in it's 
current state because of lack of transaction support.
So PDO_firebird shouldn't get patches and fixes?
If a PHP PDO feature isn't usable or broken it won't be fixed because 
the driver supports only a subset of features?

I do think this attitude will hurt PHP more then lack of maintenance of 
database drivers, actually users of pdo firebird should decide.
