The thing is : none of us can really know what KSQL is, since the
_new_ KSQL, the one Michael Koch is working on and which is supposed
to replace Katabase, is much more than the _current_ KSQL.
At least that's the impression I got from discussing with Michael.

To replace talks with code, it would be time to ask Michael to commit
his stuff :-) (cc'ed).

Since he was part of katabase too, I think I can trust him about "katabase
is dead". Apparently there was some activity recently on the katabase list,
but was that users or developers ?
