Remind me, what are the differences here? What are you using? The only thing I 
trip up on is String#isEmpty (yes, it took them 6 revisions to add this).

+1. I'd normally suggest some sort of relaxation period (7 is very fresh after

University many production systems are using 6, and I'd class them as fairly 
conservative.
