[jcifs] SmbException Supercedes boolean?

[Allen, Michael B (RSCH)]

Does anyone have an opinion as to whether or not SmbFile methods should
return boolean now that many throw SmbException? For example, 0.5.1 has:

public boolean mkdir()

which looks like it's java.io.File counterpart and returns true if the directory was
successfully created and false otherwise. For 0.6.0 I was planning on just
adding the throws to this like:

public boolean mkdir() throws SmbException

but returning boolean is rather pointless given that any kind of failure provokes
an SmbException. I don't know of any other context that might make use of
boolean. I think this should just be:

public void mkdir() throws SmbException

Any opinions? Obviously this is pretty important because it's undoubtledly
going to break code so I'd rather only do this once.
