I think you are forgetting, that e.g. a JDBC driver will not want to
depend on
an external C dll at all. It will want a native Java implementation
(Group 4).
Thus imho it is necessary to have a defined wire protocol, which we
have.
So if a driver needs to use the wire protocol it is imho not a problem.
If applications started using it, because they don't find a suitable
driver,
now that would be a problem.
