Another issue concerns user contributions of patches and enhancements. I have a significant body of code that might be contributed, all in 1.5, to do things that have been requested by others who participate in the lists. As most of the development community is using 1.5 now, Lucene may get fewer good user contributions if it insists on keeping the core in the dark ages of 1.4. 1.5 is a major improvement in Java development. This will benefit the API's as well as the implementation. If 2.1+ is the platform for new api's and functionality, it is will be an impediment for both of these reasons to restrict it to 1.4.
