If only it was that easy! 1.4 is the backbone of huge numbers of application servers still in active use out there, because JavaEE only recently got updated. These are also the environments where a tool like liquibase comes in most useful. I'd love to see the death of Java 1.4 as much as everyone, but I think support is necessary for a little while.
Putting out a deprecatation warning now would seem like a reasonable approach, and then killing support in something like 6 months to a year to give people time to migrate.
