Why would it not be?

The only reason you guys would have to provide support for 1.5 would be if 
enough prospective users required it, and it would threaten the project not to 
support it.

I can't really envision a scenario where someone would take the "risk" of going 
for qi4j and not be willing to upgrade to 1.6 at the same time. 1.5 is even out 
of support. The customer profile you are describing is a customer who is both 
willing to take risks and use new technology, while still not being willing to 
take risks and sticking with his old technology. Would you want to work with 
such a customer? Whatever you guys did, it would probably not be good enough 
through being too risky/too old-school. Have your pick.

If such a potential user could be found, I suggest that the energy expended on 
supporting 1.5 would provide far more potential users to the project if it was 
placed into additional quality, documentation and/or features instead.

My 10 norwegian øre worth, which is a unit of money that is so small that there 
are no longer any coins for it.
