Why couldn't ON (from Java 1.2) mean grayscale AA up to 1.5 and in 1.6 become
general AA? Isn't that a superset? Could it really break any practical form of
backwards compatibility?
It would be an incompatible change.
And what would 2D pick when you did say ON? greyscale is the closest
thing to "general AA" anyway.
And what would you then specify to get what previously meant ON?
If you want something new, then use a new value. Think of it another
way: "ON" should perhaps have
been named "GREYSCALE".
So all this was carefully considered long ago, and the implemented
behaviour seems the safest way forward.
