Clay - 0.9pr will support JDK 1.3. I have long been arguging the need to 
maintain support for it. I believe Jeremias applied a patch recently to 
fix the issues with building 0.9pr on 1.3. So it should be okay now?

So I don't think 0.20.5 will have any advantage once 0.9 has become 
stable. Hence why I think we should stop promoting it once 0.9 is 
thorouhly tested and in production.
