jdbc-42.1-4 drop of Compatible property and useObjects

Hello All,

I was just trying to test our app with postgresql 10.0 and the new jdbc driver 42.1.4 (since it wasn't working with original jdbc9.3) and I saw that the Compatible property was dropped for jdbc-42.1-4
. We use a lot of code written pre-jdbc 8.3 (which supported only arrays of primitives) , and we always used to set Compatible=8.2 as a work around. Unfortunately we never got the time to update the
code. So I changed useObjects=false and recompiled with maven, and this seemed to do the trick.

I know our code is (long) due to be updated, I just wanted to ask how much time we have, i.e. until when will the code for handling the legacy behavior (8.2) be there?
