The docs page says "The driver makes no guarantees that methods on connections are synchronized." and mentions "TimestampUtils" as a "notable exception".
I'm just suggesting that it would be good to document "getConnection" and "connect" and other similar methods as thread-safe too, since that property is especially useful (and I'd guess often assumed) for them.

The term "The PostgreSQL™ JDBC driver" refers to the project as a whole. Obviously certain classes and methods *may* be (inherently) thread-safe, but "The PostgreSQL™ JDBC driver" project is not developed for a multi-threaded use, and the majority of the functionality (Connections, Statements, Result Sets, etc.) can *only* be used by a single thread.
