It's still acceptable but it reduces all comparisons to pure string
compares. As it's not the default style for Maven I agree we should avoid
it then.

Yes I guess we don't really have much other choice besides complicating
things quite a bit with separate dependencies for the API itself (and/or
separate artifacts per JDK).

We should add a note to the README about this as well. I'm sure someone
will eventually run into the issue of a dependency specifying a newer
driver version with a lower JDK. Would be nice to have it documented
somewhere that the solution is to make sure the top level Maven project
specifies the latest version for the desired JDK version.
