If the idea is to roll out a bugfix release that people are awaiting then I do not see the point in updating the minimum java version and changing the code to use new language / jdk features. This will just limit the use of the bugfix release, as not every application using it will have been upgraded already. Also, every change might introduce another problem, but this is up to the judgement of the maintainer(s). For the release afterwards (i.e. 1.5), I think it is fine to apply all the changes, and updating the minimum java version in minor releases is ok and has been done for other components already.
