Destroying backward compatibilty? Not such a big deal for full-blown
implementations, perhaps, but what about interoperability libraries
that may, for whatever reason, implement javax.validation.Validator?
Shouldn't a user be able to upgrade to a Bean Validation 1.1
implementation and still use libraries built against Bean Validation
1.0?
No I don't think that's a realistic goal. It would force us to use some untyped
unwrap() style method to
add features to Bean Validation.
