For v6 I would suggest to drop ability to create multifile database but keep ability to open and work with multifile database until the next major ODS. |

Don't need this. For this purpose there is EngineXX of previous versions. |

XX will be the same in v4/v5 and v6, this makes things confusing. Different engines are mostly intended for different major ODS versions. |

Not anymore. In Firebird 6.0, now the new major version ODS 14.0. |

Yes, but tablespaces are still in the pipeline. Does anyone object to perform the cleanup now? |

I'm not sure it should be applied to v6 as it supports databases in ODS 13.0 / 13.1 which may be multi-file and the engine will not be able to work with them. The patch raises an error in this case and suggests backup/restore to convert the database into a single file. Another possible reason for delay is that tablespaces are not landed yet. I have no problems merging this PR later.
