Although I guess everyone understood what I meant above, just a
clarification: of course I meant that it only makes sense to stick  
with
1.4 if the people working on and using 2.2 *with jdk 1.4* is a  
critical

mass. There is no doubt that currently there are many people
using/develeoping 2.2 in general.



We just switched our Cocoon deployment in production from IBM 1.4  
to Sun
1.5 and got at least a 25% performance improvement. Java 1.6 is  
out.  It
seems nuts to me to continue to target 1.4 on an as yet unreleased  
new
version of Cocoon.  However, if you view this as a code change then  
the
voting rules state that a single -1 vetoes the proposal, and we got  
that
before.  Unless the -1 is rescinded I fear we will be stuck at 1.4  
until

2010.


We can bump version number to 2.3 and require Java 1.5 for it. In fact  
I'd proposed this already sometime before. 2.2 can be branched off for  
those few unfortunate who are stuck with Java 1.4.
