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.
Unheard user are users that are not on our user list. They may be more
than we may suggest. As many people here we use a lot of other projects
and we are not necesarily on the user list of the given project.
