This is not the point. If they add net 2.0 to the classpath they are using
Java 5 probably anyway. The interesting quesiton is, what happens if net 1.4
is on the classpath? I'd guess the provider is also auto-registered, but
will crash at some point ...

If the application will crash, just because net 1.4 is on the classpath, it
is a blocker. If an application can run as logn as it does not use the stuff
requiring net 2.0, it's unfortunate, but documentation is enough.
