My question was really whether the JDBC group care about enhancing the
sql classes, or whether they are content to let them be and get
everyone to move to the new types.

In other words, if someone is going into their code and updating it to
use 310 classes on the Java side (everywhere), do you also want them
to change the JDBC logic (and thus remove references to sql.Date etc)
or to be able to use 310 classes in the rest of their codebase, but
the old sql JDBC classes withing the JDBC code.
