Just a reminder: Sun isn't the only JDK vendor; I know of a lot of WebFears=
 and WebIllogics that aren't running 1.5.

I'm still in favor of dropping support, but it's not reasonable to make a b=
lanket assumption that just because Sun EOL'd 1.4 that (a) scads of people =
aren't still running 1.4, and (b) people only run Sun JVMs.
