If you look at Jaybird it currently only supports protocol version 10, 
and as long as the newer protocol versions are not implemented, removing 
support for protocol version 10 would cut off all Java users from 
connecting to Firebird 3.0 (except when using a native client library, 
but that has its own downsides).

I am planning on adding the newer protocol versions in Jaybird 2.3, but 
it will take time to get familiar with the wire protocol and its current 
implementation in Jaybird. What I have seen right now will probably mean 
that I will need to rewrite the implementation to better/easier 
accommodate multiple protocol versions. Then it will take more time to 
test the new implementation and to have users migrate to Jaybird 2.3.

It would probably - correct me if I am wrong - also mean that EXECUTE 
STATEMENT ON EXTERNAL feature of Firebird 3.0 cannot connect to some of 
the earlier Firebird versions.
