And we can agree at any point that the circumstances changed and JDK1.1 is no longer a big enough issue. Most platforms have java2 ( either Sun or Kaffe/GCJ ), fewer people use 1.1 Every decision can be reconsidered if the circumstances change or if we figure that it is not longer the best choice. Top-level tasks were voted down few years ago, and now it seems we'll have a majority to change that old vote.
