Ok,
I checked the situation from (reliable) sources. For the time being  
midgard2-core needs libgda3 (the information is that gda4 still  
doesn't support e.g. table creation, also database provider set is not  
quite stable). So let's not drop it yet:-) I expect that midgard2-core  
will move to gda4 in future, but it is not there now.
