I'd agree. I think at some point you just have to put the line in the sand (funny when
we do it, it's ok, when M$ did it with Win 3.1 with Win95, we bitch and moan :)
because the costs of maintaining for older JDK's are much higher than any benefits on
those platforms.

NTLM & SSL as standard features would also have to go (there are some
Java 1.1 compatible JCE & JSSE implementations but I do not know of any
available under open-source licence)
In general the use of Java 1.1 should be strongly discouraged in my
opinion. The users of legacy platforms like Mac OS < 10 and IE should
feel the pressure to upgrade (side-grade in case of IE ;-))
