The implication is that he had to add a call to Class.forName() in order to test the snapshot jar where the META-INF/services directory was missing. Now that the META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver file is back, the service provider framework knows how to load the driver and so he does not need to call Class.forName() anymore.
