I agree it makes things a bit more complicated, but we need to be aware of it anyway since the "execution environment" is something we can (and maybe should) set explicitly in every bundle's manifest (just like we explicitly import, export and version our packages).
I don't think it's too much work though, if we agree that by default our bundles are Java 5 compatible and we can make exceptions (if the technology we use in a bundle requires it).
