No. The constructor changes first, we can call it 1.3 , and that
version should be primarily just that change and some minor ones
around it.

Yes. If we call the constructor change Wicket 1.3, we can call the JDK
1.5 version Wicket 2.0.

I agree with Igor that we should move to 1.5, and don't wait for a
year to do it. Not everyone will be happy with it, but we'll have a
very decent version out with 1.3 which we should support for a long
time (by which I mean bug fixing, not so much back porting new
features).
Moving to 1.5 will eleminate a few of the weak features we still have
and can't fix. As Wicket is all about Java code and strong typing, it
sucks we can't have that strong typing in one of our major concepts
yet - the model. With generics we can have this. I think that alone is
worth the move, and as a lot of other frameworks - either for UI stuff
or other purposes - already moved to 1.5, I don't think it is too
early. We are already a year further since our first 1.5 discussions.
