of result sets using new statement protocol
+Features We Do _Not_ Want
+=========================
+
+* All backends running as threads in a single process (not want)
+
+ This eliminates the process protection we get from the current setup.
+ Thread creation is usually the same overhead as process creation on
+ modern systems, so it seems unwise to use a pure threaded model.
+
+* Optimizer hints (not want)
+
+ Optimizer hints are used to work around problems in the optimizer. We
+ would rather have the problems reported and fixed.
