But as was stated, the db object should be a singleton, as in 0.9.18.

As stated by oliver, we also expected that phpgw will break. But I have
a fresh install on my squeeze that works. I have not tested all the
applications, but what oliver and I selected as the core-base
applications, see the list at the end.

I propose that we officially package that and wait for bugs.
If we are overwhelmed by bugs, we will decide what to do.
