There will always be users that will complain when changing Java versions. The only semi-valid reason I've heard to not upgrade to 1.4 is that product X requires 1.3 and product X is expensive. IMO, if the component needs 1.4 then you should move to 1.4. The previous 1.3 compatible version of the component will still work after the change. Product X shouldn't stand in the way of innovation :-).
