I tried to look at it shortly last week, but unfortunatly my local build 
environment is messed up. If and when I find the time to reset it, I'll try 
again.

The previous thread on getting 2.4 released initiated by John turned into a 
discussion whether to disable the SQL backend or not due to stability issues. 
I haven't closely watched the recent commits in that area, but I wonder if 
this situation has changed now. Is the sql backend now considered ready for 
public release ? Or do we still have to implement the suggestion of an "Export 
to sql" menu next to the Save As menu [1] which several developers liked ?

Aside from that, I don't have anything to add.
