I wouldn't necessarily agree with you here. Environment changes are something that might force changes in an application, to the extend that your only option is to either accept the changes or don't change the environment. For instance, I think the ODBC spec lets you issue multiple prepared statements at once, which the JDBC spec appears to forbid. In that case, I vote for dropping this feature, which was never explicitly supported anyway, instead of not moving to a Java based architecture. All changes have to be documented, but incomplete backward compatibility is not a reason to just keep everything the same.
