[Phpgroupware-developers] phpGroupWare and PEAR db abstraction layers

This is a general inquiry directed mainly to the db gurus of the phpGW core team:
 
I have noticed that more and more open source apps are taking advantage of PEAR's db abstraction layer. I would expect this trend to increase as developers become more standards sensitive, as well as realize the futility in recreating the wheel. This is to say nothing of the fact that the PEAR DB is being merged with the Metabase php database abstraction layer.
 
When browsing an open source app there have been times that I thought the app I was looking at would be a good candidate to integrate with phpGroupWare. Problem is the conflict in phpGroupWare's db class with the PEAR DB class.
 
Surely the core team has noticed this, too.
 
Are there any plans to address this? Or is phpGW definitely staying proprietary?
 
Thanks for you thoughts/feedback!
 
Jim
