Unfortunately Jeff is on vacation, will be back June 6 if I remember
right. So all I know is what he posted to Jira.

Or maybe open a sub task and submit a patch to that?
My guess is there are additional things to watch out for; for example,
updating the tests to reflect the changed messages so derbyall passes.
Also, I don't know what gotchas might be out in the locale files --
would be another thing to follow up on. Anything else, derby developers?

In my opinion, the docs (including any doc patches submitted) should be
changed to match the code.
