my 2c (as if you care!) is that James should stay with 1.3 until a
particular new piece of code cannot be written without a higher version, or
until a very significant improvement in performance is achieved through the
adoption of a higher version.

At that point I'd expect there to be a vote by comitters, and if the time is
right it will be a landslide. Up 'till now we've pretty much allowed
ourselves to be vetoed by even a single well explained reason to stay with
1.3, because there hasn't been an equally compelling case to upgrade.
