+0.5 on that one - I was just trying to make a general point. 1.3 has been released eons ago.

Even COBOL... but still runs lots of the banking software worldwide (which java is only in recent years slowly replacing)

I agree with Gianugo: we should think about having 1.4 a requirement only when 1.5 is out final and installed on lots of the end-user clients, just like we did for stopping support for 1.2.

Of course, if a major subsystem required a 1.4 functionality, we might consider changing sooner, but AFAIK, this is not the case.
