Thanks Niclas, here we go: I vote -1 for the reasons stated above.
Changing the user contracts is not fair.
I'd say that you owe to users the chance to become "heard" by asking on
the users' list, and then users who choose to remain "unheard" do not
have standing. If it turns out that nobody on the users' list gives a
rip about Java 1.3, then this whole thing is moot. If users *do* give
a rip, then the answer might *still* be "too freakin' bad!" What else?
"Bummer about Cocoon, they could never release 2.1.11 because they
couldn't do it without 'changing the contracts' and there were no
resources to do the work to make it 1.3-compatible"? If the choice
truly is between that and ending 1.3 compatibility, then screw 1.3 and
at least get out a final 2.1. Remember, the previous 1.3-compatible
releases of Cocoon are not going to suddenly stop working.
OK, I'm all done ranting on this thread...
