I believe the argument was something to the effect that the reference port was Intel 64bit for the new features/super benchmarks, and they didn't have the resources or the customer requirement or some such to support beyond the effort to bring Java 6 natively to the platform. I was informed that people won't be forced to adopt it, and that 1.5 will be around for quite some time.
