Re: Patch for jdbc ResultSet.getTimestamp()

More frequent jdbc releases are probably a good idea, but I still would
expect that they are being made from patches applied to the 7.1 branch,
not being pulled from the 7.2 main trunk.  What happens when changes to
the backend for 7.2 start requiring changes to jdbc that may not be
backwardly compatible with 7.1?  Isn't the whole point of having a 7.1
branch meant to have a place for patches/bug fixes that are isolated
from new feature development?
