I would *guess* that those not bothering to move from 1.3 (for whatever
reason) are mostly the same folk who won't upgrade to a more recent
Tomcat version anyway.

choose between upgrading tomcat and upgrading other software ?
I don't think the number is significant. It's very subjective, and I
have no empirical data, just opinion from the tomcat-user list. If
someone could show, for example, that more than a tenth of Tomcat users
run with JDK 1.3 in production, I'd be convinced me JDK 1.3 is still
significant.
I completely agree WORA is essential, possibly the biggest advantage of
the Java language/platform. But then why aren't we coding/building to
JDK 1.1 or J2ME? It's a question of tradeoffs. Maybe we should have a
vote on whether Tomcat 5.5 should require JDK 1.5?
