1.5 will be a major one, not minor - so where's the point?

Or before your tool vendor finally manages to update their product to
be compatible with 1.5. These are organizations that have to be
extremely careful. Why do you think Sun is still offering paid support
for 1.5?
It doesn't really matter why they are sticking with 1.5, however. What
really matters is this: There are organizations for whom stability in
the core is more important than having the new features. At the same
time, however, they want to be able to update less essential things
like a GUI framework for as long as possible. If you tell them now they
won't be able to use Wicket after the next minor(!) release and won't
get any support for the old version, they'll go ahead and use Struts.
Okay, that last one is maybe a bit exaggerated, but you get what I mean.
