Where does this restriction come from?
Until a spec is final I don't see how you can have a certified compliant
implementation of that spec. It might be as easy as not claiming JDBC
4.0
compliance until *after* JSR-221 is final, than saying, "huh, gee whiz,
we pass the TCK!"
If the interfaces happen to exist in a release before the spec is final,
well, cool. Folks using them are at risk of the spec changing at the
last
minute, so I would put bright red warnings around them if they are event
documented before the official release of the spec (not of Derby).
