So, I take it you're a fan of the delay time being ZERO. :-) I appreciate that point of view (I want my ThreeTen yesterday and 308 should have been in JDK7) and another advantage I can see in it is that it is less new stuff for me to learn in one chunk (as well as giving the tools people less to do).
