What are these numerous small reasons? The only ones that I have heard in our past discussions were JDK5 EOL (which doesn't matter since we are really talking about Java 5 bytecode compatibility here) and @Override on interface implementations. Please show me that list of small reasons that when taken as a whole outweigh the concern of loosing or hindering users when switching to a newer bytecode version.
