Hi, Agree with you Johan on the 1.5 jump. I believe it should not be mandatory to have, but only a plus. I think also that we should avoid adding new features that would be accessible only through annotations (although it might possibly be harder to use such features without annotations).

For all it is worth, I would say stay away from 1.5 for at least another release - too many people are still on 1.4 and it would just slow the uptake of people using HiveMind until they catch up.
