Since you contributed a non-Java-1.5 patch for HADOOP-259, let's go
ahead and release 0.3 without a Java 1.5 requirement, then start
permitting Java 1.5 in changes for 0.4. That way we give folks a
bit more notice and a bit more time to object. I doubt we'll hear
many objections, but I don't want to surprise folks too much with
this kind of change.
Does this sound like a reasonable plan?
