Note though, that LibreOffice has a reputation and claim that it can pretty much open ~anything. So even _iff_ we would start embedding DB-Engines in odbs, there would still be lots of HSQLDB odbs in the wild, that do not have anything embedded -- and users likely will expect us to be able to open those for a looong time, even after we gave them much warning ahead of time. I see none of the proposals so far (even _iff_ we had the manpower) helping us to get rid of HSSQLDB. Without ever having had a look at the details: to really get rid of HSSQLDB (Java) likely requires implementing a HSQLDB file reader (not a full DB engine) in C++, which we can use to import iold data to whatever fancy new engine someone comes up with.
