It is, but some JMX stuff has already been committed, hasn't it. And
since what Derby offers through JMX isn't regulated by a standard, I
would think that you have quite a bit of leeway in terms of defining
when the feature is complete... :)

I would think that all of these things could be added after feature
freeze, if need be. They don't seem like things that could seriously
de-stabilize the branch...(?)
