I, personally, use 1.5 for all my development and having source compatibility with 1.3 should alleviate many concerns, but I've also seen a lot of messages indicating a tie to pre-1.5 that might not be easily overcome at the present moment.
On the flip-side... given the number of committers such a jump for purposes of building only might not have the impact of a more mature project. Bottom line: for me personally, +1 (non-binding). for the project?
