Thanks for flagging this, Mick!

No concern from me as all EOL dates for these distributions have long passed 
and agreed that a NEWS entry is a good way to surface to users.

The patch for CASSANDRA-16212 does not change the use of JNA, so a
downgrade of the jna jar file would be possible. But once the upgrade is in
place there's no way really for us to enforce that any subsequent ticket
doesn't take advantage of any new jna api.
