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.
Seems like there are enough people who want to stick with 1.3.
How about this... the next release of JavaMail (version 1.4 which shouldn't be for many many months) will require 1.4. At that point we can again discuss whether it's worth upgrading as this is probably a pretty good justification to upgrade.
