To be fair to Spark, we are encouraging the client integrations to be very conservative with new releases. Spark with 0.8.x client will work on 0.10.0.0 broker, but not vice-versa. So it doesn't make tons of sense for Spark to upgrade until there is critical mass of users on the new release.
We are working toward improving the compatibility story in the future.
