Hi binkley,
I had (maybe 1 year ago) a fairly big contribution vfs that was rejected because it used 1.4 regex package. So I basically am for your your suggestion. Nevertheless I don't think the reason should be that because of Sun's business plans Open Source community should make it's decisions. EOL transition only means getting rid of the responsibilities in terms of support agreements.
Maybe how you could try to argument is what would be the practical benefit to the user of vfs. Also someone who is using 1.3 and vfs could tell what kind of problems this would create. Further a release could be made available for 1.3 users and then move on to 1.4.

<<
J2SE 1.3.1 has begun the Sun End of Life (EOL) process. The EOL transition period is from Oct 25, 2004 until March 30, 2006. With this notice, customers should now begin to move to current product versions.
During the EOL transition period, the products will be supported as per existing customer support agreements. After this period, these products will no longer be supported by Sun.
For developer needs, all products that have completed the EOL transition period will be moved to the Archive (http://java.sun.com/products/archive/) area.

Could we at least move VFS up to JDK 1.4? :-)
