On the plus side we are actively involved in working with the OGC towards this.
GeoTools 2.2: (August) - we made our style interfaces method compatible with GeoAPI style interfaces (so you will not break when the time comes) GeoTools 2.3: (September Release Candidate) - improvements to the grid coverage implemementation have been made available (vast improvement), I not aware of any API change - we have switched to the GeoAPI Filter interfaces, our implementations maintain the same methods as before in deprecated form, these will be pulled after one release cycle (basically you have a year or more) GeoTools 2.4: - we would like to cut over to a better definition of Feature and have spent a lot of time working with GeoAPI on one that will actually let us do GML3. Right now we need to find a "sugar daddy" to complete this work (we have the model in a branch but need a coordinated effort to get it in) I am doing a talk on *exactly* this topic and difficulty, and a few others as part of FOSS4G - my slides will be available. There are several ways to minimize risk, and one really good one is to talk to us - we are happy to cut releases as needed, and the scope of releases can be informed by your projects needs (even if your project is commercial and we never see it ourselves). I would advise you set aside some time for optimization; there are several interesting ways to go wrong when working with large data, and sometimes the fixes can go deep.
