4.6 has already switched from mysql_ to mysqli_, so the switch to PDO can wait.
For clarity, here’s Ruud’s commit that dealt with that

Re: Textpattern roadmap: 4.6 and beyond
Custom fields are a big move, and nobody can blame the devs for taking time to find the best solution we all want for Textpattern. The idea behind my question is to use this time to think on custom content types too, since both are related. I will be glad to participate to discussions/development, of course, thank you for the confidence.

Though, technically, it’s currently tagged with a 4.6 milestone — I’m assuming that a switch to PDO would be a patch (i.e., no new feature or functionality), so it could be dealt with in a patch release.

Hi Pete, I’ve just moved PDO to a tentative 4.7 milestone. The 4.6 priority was because of PHP7, but Ruud has produced a fix for that without going PDO for now. Cheers!

Right on. Thanks.

Just a note that I’m hoping to get a large phase of the admin UI update into the 4.6dev master within the next couple of weeks. Here is an issue tracking that patch.
Thanks.

Re: Textpattern roadmap: 4.6 and beyond
Are there any 4.6 features in core that were previously only able to be done with a plugin? I.e., the plugin would be obsolete in 4.6?
For example, I thought I saw talk about putting metadata fields into core, like what can be done with arc_meta. Anything like that happening, or other examples where a plugin could be removed?

@destry – yes the meta fields have been added into core (category, section, article), along with corresponding tags. The image list as a grid view might make it in if I get time before the 4.6 beta deadline.
