Unfortunately, this is due to a lack of developer time at commons. It
may happen at some point, when someone at apache needs the functionality.
I also think there will be some resistance as Java 1.3 is still a
pretty common target and many projects depend on commons collections.
My personal feeling is that Java 1.4 is increasingly becoming the next
baseline JVM and it will be a while (read when Java 1.7 is released)
before everyone has moved forward enough that resistance towards
making Java 1.5 a baseline will be minimal.
I'm aware that this is NOT a poll, and yet....
