That presumption is correct ;-)

After working with several external libraries and performance testing,
we've decided that abstracting the abstraction layer just wasn't
justified. For us, we are taking a very ADOdb-like approach, and
providing database connectors/drivers as part of the core of the
system.

This is good news for everyone, as we are not tied to an external
library just to connect to a database, and also the community is free
to provide drivers for whatever data source they want - and this
includes 3rd party  developers as well.
