Maintaining Wicket 1.3 should be for bug fixes, not new features. But that doesn't prevent new components to be developed, or backported by our community if there is a need for JDK 1.4 components. And if you really have a need, then you can always use retrotranslator/weaver to backport 1.5

1) I think you're overestimating the trouble that would cause. The only thing they're not getting is new features after the next release. In terms of new (major) releases no one has gotten anything for almost a year. 2) You also lose something by not moving to Java5... Wicket can be better
