I would be inclined to agree with you. But this is not unheard of behavior for 
vendors. Just to mention a big one: all but the most recent SAP install 
processes insist you install an 1.4.2 base Java SDK. If you have another 
requirement for an 1.5.0 based version the result is lots of fun and games.
