Thanks Chip. I've forgotten about that. I don't think "potentially alienating someone" is never a good reason for us to do or not do something. If there was nothing to gain from updating jdk to 1.7, then we might as well just leave it at 1.6. If there are good reasons, then why not? I think there's good reasons proposed in this thread.
