I've just realized an additional point. Owing to evolution of interfaces that are included in the JDK, such as JDBC, there are projects such as Hibernate which *cannot* be compiled with JDK 6, and must use JDK 5 (because JDK 6 added methods to interfaces). So, yes, there's significant benefit in retaining Java 5 until its End of Service Life.
