Why is kde still dependent on libidobc?

Both libiodbc and unixODBC provide the same thing. From what I remember only unixODBC is being maintained. So why can't KDE use unixODBC? I thought this would get fixed a long time ago but it still hasn't and I'm not wondering why.

Maybe you should ask the KDE developers? Or is this specific to the FreeBSD install of KDE?
 
That is more or less the question though. I am asking about the implementation of the port. As far as I know libiodbc is not a KDE part. Every other port is seems has added an option to it's config menu to choose which implementation to use.

Is there something preventing this other than no one deciding to implement it?
 
Nice to hear that there is still effort going on in that direction and that there is nothing that technically prevents it. That is as much as I could have hoped for. Thanks.
