Yes.

There are some uses inside Glassfish, as well as JBI folks. So this
needs coordination, and we can't test everything by ourselves.

We also need to do it at the right moment, too. Glassfish is getting
close to a release, and so it's fairly unlikely that they'll say yes to
this change any time soon.

So for a while, we'll have to leave the RI as it is.
