Paul,

Thanks a lot for working on this. I will for sure attend your BoF. I
have indeed a set of features which I would love to see in
dbconfig-common, like the support for parsing DSN as a helper script,
support for other types of db (mongodb, for example), etc.

Do you have somewhere a comprehensive list of the set of new features
available, which would be nicer to read than the debian/changelog?

Cheers,
