Java never throws anything away. I wonder about a compatibility layer.
rt.jar would contain all of the current stuff, rtc.jar the old.

On the plus side, I can now do this:
public class Scratch {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
     int mySSNumber = 000_00_0000;
     System.out.println(mySSNumber); // :-( }}

Progress.
