Right, that is obviously an important point.

Our company and products always need to work with the latest stuff, so 
1.4 is mandatory for us.

If the NIO API's turn out to be as useful as they seem, it should be a 
big boost.

Another thing I'm also doing in my own refactoring is adding better 
support for logging, through monitors. In other words, instead of doing 
log messages in the code it calls monitors, one popular implementation 
of which would be to create a log message. This opens up for more 
customized monitoring of the database, and doesn't pollute the core code 
with this or that logging package.
