What advantages would be gained from going to V3 for end users/developers?
Perhaps more importantly, who would be able to do the work? I know Julie
offered to work on the driver, but other than a message a few weeks ago to
say hello I've heard nothing.

I would vote to stick with v2.5 for now but get things like query length,
max tuple size, outer joins (see my message from yesterday) and anything
else that may cause problems for people sorted out.

Dave.
