 > Moving to a driver-style WPDB is a pretty big step. Not because of the
 changes to the code, but because of the changes to how WPDB can be
 extended.

 I do get that it's a bigh step. I already had that experience with
 WP_Image_Editor. I do believe that time is irrelevant. It needs a lot of
 attention to get how we want it and currently that is the major issue. We
 only want to do ugly hot fixes instead of making the code great.
