For those not willing or able to move past JDK1.3, it seems like they'd also be unlikely to keep up with the latest versions of supporting libraries such as Log4j. Since the 1.2.xx branch will always be there and still works just fine, I don't see any problem with moving to JDK1.4, as long as application code that had used 1.2.xx continues to work with 1.3.xx when the user makes the move to JDK1.4+. A 2.xx release should definitely move to 1.5 after that, as long as there's a compelling reason to do so.
