IMHO 1.3 support for the Cocoon core and for individual blocks can be considered separately.
Having blocks which require 1.4 disabled by default might be an option, or we could add an attribute in gump.xml indicating JVM version requirements for blocks, individually.
...don't forget, not all users are subsribed to our mailing lists...
If they're not subscribed they can't complain about not being informed, can they?
It's not so easy to follow the Cocoon mailing lists, specially it is very time consuming.
At our latest poll about 20 users answered and there were 3 CON votes (thanks Steven). I hope that Cocoon has more than 20 users worldwide and if the mentioned figures are representative this means that about 10 to 20 % of our users are stick to JDK1.3. I think this is enough to have *really* good reasons if we have to move to JDK1.4. I agree completly with Gianugo's list of those really good points and that things for special blocks may be different.
