I disagree, I think there is a support cost. If users are having issues
with the 1.4 stuff, (which happens more often than not) then we're
obligated to assist that user. If we dropped the 1.4 stuff, maybe for
Struts 2.1, then we would no longer have that obligation. Long term I
think we will drop the 1.4 stuff at some point, it's just a matter of
figuring out when.
Another advantage is the builds become a bit simpler. (Or at least
there's a chunk of the build that goes away) I'm not arguing for
dropping 1.4 support, but there are some reasons to consider it.

I'd vote for sticking with the current approach for 2.0 and then dropping
the 1.4 support entirely for 2.1.
It would cause confusion to change the existing convention of dependancy
packaging, but for a the new minor release (2.1) we can finally follow the
statement on the struts2 website saying that Java 5 is a requirement and
redirect the effort currently spent on the J4 release into improving the
code code.
I sincerely don't know why we should remove the J4 support, since it
costs zero for us, thanks to Retrotranslator.
