I don't think I was around for the last Java version bump. What would
keep us from doing this?

I was hesitant to switch locally to Java 5 when it first came out, but 1.4.2
is quite old now. Java 6 is up to Update 17. I just saw this on
java.sun.com:

"On October 30, 2008 J2SE 1.4.2 reached the end of its service life
(EOSL)."

It's not just old, its service life has ended.
