I read the issue description and was aware of the semantic problem in the first place.

What I am saying is that in my opinion it's not the JDBC driver's place to correct a wrong done by Sun in 1996/7. (And as we already established in this thread: dates, times, time zones is an excruciatingly difficult topic to solve, and we don't have a very good solution in any of our programming languages as of yet, but the new Java Time API comes close.)

This change, if rolled out without a feature flag, **will** break already existing and working systems just by upgrading the driver version. As it does with 42.7.9.
