well, just a example: the public class org.apache.xml.utils.XMLChar is part of 
the 1.4 jre but it doesn't exist in jre 1.5.

it's IMO common sense to thoroughly test changes with significant potential 
impact on public api mehtods
and unknown side effects, especially if they replace time-tested code.

well then consider the XMLChar case above...
