That is true indeed, but on the other hand a lot of people write extremely buggy code (and some times intentionally as in my case) in order to deal with those old JDBC drivers bugs. I mean those people would have to face the reality sooner or later when upgrading to 8.x, why not force them to take the action earlier, when, in addition, the new correct behaviour adheres to the JDBC spec, whereas the old one didnt?
