Not really.  There are quite a few things I'd like to do before releasing  
a Java 6 version on the unsuspecting world.  In no particular order:

o Implement the java.sql.SQLXML datatype as a thin layer to PostgreSQL's  
native XML type.  Possibly implementing StAX directly on top of libxml2.

o Clean up unsupported exceptions.

o Review/rework the security infrastructure.

o Implement methods that aren't supposed to throw unsupported exception  
when possible.

o Clean up some whitespace/coding conventions in the current JDBC 4 stubs.

In the mean time, will an "experimental" release help?
