Really? I don't mind if the current code is release as 2.0. But for such a minor
change (though in the interface)? Please find my reasoning in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRANSACTION-11.

Thanks, but I am not questioning the absolute validity of the change,
just its validity for the proposed release.
Also I read the versioning guideline and can't see whether it really needs a
major release (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/versioning.html):
"Generally speaking, an interface-compatible change will at most change the
private interface of a component, or simply add classes, methods and attributes
whose use is optional to both internal and external interface clients."
"Developers must perform a major release whenever the new release is not at
least interface-compatible the previous release."

And this is not. You could convince yourself by running the changes
through clirr, for instance.

IMHO the condition is fulfilled, so the rule does not fire.
