Are we still tracking the main tree's release cycle then? I thought part
of the reason for moving to gborg was because the JDBC driver's release
cycle didn't match the main tree's release cycle well?

I have a large stack of not-yet-ready-for-prime-time v3 protocol changes
that I'd like to get in at some point -- but I don't want to get bitten
by "we're in beta, this is too big to apply". Are we planning on a
code/feature freeze or similar, tracking whatever 7.5 is doing?

Also, now that the driver is separate from the main code tree, maybe
it'd be a good idea when reindenting to use more "normal" (for java
anyway) indentation rules -- e.g. use either all spaces or spaces and
8-character tabs when indenting. The current 4-character tabs rule is
fairly unusual. That'd make driver editing easier across a range of
IDEs; sure, I have my xemacs settings that play nicely with the current
scheme, but it's a barrier to entry for anyone who hasn't worked on the
driver before.
