Hello Alan, I am not familiar with the history of these JNDI APIs. I did a 
quick check and it looks like there are only a few places in the JDK where we 
refer to the JNDI version. For example, in `javax.naming.Context`:
> Prior to JNDI 1.2, all name arguments were treated as composite names.

and then in `javax.naming.directory.DirContext`:

* Prior to JNDI 1.2, this method
* returned a single schema object representing the class definition of
* the named object.
* Since JNDI 1.2, this method returns a {@code DirContext} containing
* all of the named object's class definitions.

and then are a few places which have this:


Use serialVersionUID from JNDI 1.1.1 for interoperability

on the `serialVersionUID` fields.

Do you suggest I remove the `@since JNDI 1.1` from `IntialContext`?

As a follow up, should we also remove/update the text refering to the JNDI 
versions in other places?
