I would rather let them be and just use the 310 classes if they desire.

As we discussed before we will add support for specific 310 types via set/getObject which is how we would envision people taking advantage of new data types including 310.

So as developers are ready to move they will, I just do not see a big advantage in adding new features to the old classes as they have enough baggage as it is.
