It's absurd and redundant?

I object.  We should not be shipping both the sybase and mssql modules, they
speak the same protocols and use the same underlying library.  If there is a
reason to clearly prefer one module implementation over the other, we should
choose that implementation and provide a clean upgrade path for existing
users; if there are bugs in both we should work with upstream to address
those bugs in one of them so that we can make a clear choice.
