OK, I will post the patch then.

That's exactly my position. This avoids to double mantain two branches
and it probably fixes other problems.

I agree with it. All patches I would commit were just bug fixes and
wouldn't change any existing interface. That's why I want to discuss
the migration. Then we know what functions are missing or need to be
changed and we can do the migration and new code in a row.

At least the CDK_DBTYPE_DATA patch is safe.

Hmm, first I need to check how much code I would need to change and how
fast I can test the changes. But I don't think it will take longer than
2-3 days. I actually hope <= 2 days but I need to check the code first.

p.s.
I attached the patch, but if we do the upgrade now (or better soon as
possible), it is not needed because the OpenCDK HEAD fixes the problem.
