That was what I was thinking also, until yesterday. I think that the
proposal on the table is simply to consolidate/debug what we've already
done and push it out the door. If you've still got substantial work
left to finish JDBC 2.0, then it'd be better left for the next release.
I know I have a lot of little loose ends dangling on stuff that's
already "done", and a long list of nitty little bugs to fix, so it
makes sense to me to spend some time in fix-bugs-and-make-a-release
mode before going back into long-haul-feature-development mode.
Now, if other people don't have that feeling, maybe the idea of
a near-term release isn't so hot after all.
