Actually, I thought the JDBC crew would be the most likely source of
push-back on such a proposal :-(.  It's been common practice in that
community to tell the JDBC driver to use v2 protocol if you were having
performance problems with prepared statements.  I'm not sure if those
issues have been solved to the point where that workaround is no longer
necessary.
