Indeed. Like I said, this isn't meant in a 'condemning' manner.

This, the jdbc project.

Well, if the project is in maintenance mode, how does it handle new JDBC
releases and is there a strategic goal for updating or EOLing specific
features / legacy JDBC versions or JDKs?
If there's no path 'forward' (or at least letting go of the past) then
we'll always have the same driver. Not that stability is a bad thing,
but I think there maybe some type of balance between maintaining what's
there and incrementally improving or retiring parts of the code base of
limited value.
