Comment (by pbiron):

 Just wondering what is necessary to jump-start the effort on this ticket
 moving again (hopefully, for 5.8)?

 I have a new project where I require secure DB connections.  I've tests
 @hypertextranch 's plugin and it seems that it will work for us.  However,
 since it uses a custom `db.php` drop-in, would be really nice to have this
 in core as there are **many** other highly used plugins (e.g., W3TC and
 QM) that need/want their own drop-ins.
