This is a good question, and I'm not sure about it.
One of the objectives with a release though is to get as much stuff
in before the release as possible and that is not too likely to
introduce bugs. The reason for this is that with OFBiz a release is a
community rallying point, not like a commercial software release that
goes through thousands of hours of testing before it is made
available to paying customers.
I other words, we want the release to be relevant for as long as
possible so that interested parties will be more interested and able
to help maintain it with back-patched bug fixes, testing, validation,
etc.

My two cents... Since we are so close to a release and since it has
been
so long since our last official release, I would like to keep this one
both 1.4 and 1.5 compatible.
After the release I have no problem developing off 1.5 since it has
been
around long enough.

I wonder if we should do it before the next official OFBiz
release, or
make one more 1.4 compatible release before moving to 1.5?

Right now OFBiz can be run with both 1.4 and 1.5 versions of Java
(JDKs). We have resisted requiring 1.5 for a while, but as more
libraries start requiring it we'll have no choice, and there are
certain libraries already that require 1.5 that we might want to
update soon.
So, the big question here is: does anyone have any objections to
requiring Java 1.5 in order to run OFBiz?
