In Java up to 8  DefaultTableModel had a method  getDataVector()
that returned a raw Vector.

My application's custom TableModel overrode the method to return
a Vector<MyRowType>, where MyRowType provided direct type-safe
accessors for each column.

In Java 11 it seems to have changed to returning a Vector of 
raw Vectors.

At first glance this seems just goofy to me, because that doesn't
really make it type-safe (it still involves a raw type), and it even
prevents me from making it type-safe myself.

I hope, someone here can provide me with a second glance that
clarifies the rationale behind the change.
