The big issue wasn't whether developers and application users were using Sun's Java 1.5, it was gcj and where it was. Several of the downstream packages of Lucene involves gcj instead of Sun Java, because gcj provides different functionality. I believe that any 1.5 features used in Lucene should be carefully chosen to be compatible with stable versions of gcj, so that PyLucene, for instance, will be able to use it.
