Yes, continuing to track the server releases is the plan as I understand
it.  I would venture that we don't need to stick to their feature freeze
date which is June 1st as best as I can tell from a long and complicated
hackers discussion.  Server betas tend to take forever and I don't think
we need that kind of time to smooth out any JDBC issues.  Assuming a
minimum two month server freeze->release time frame, I would be
comfortable with a July 1st freeze for the JDBC driver.  Thoughts?
