Java developers usually have to use the earliest JDK version with which they want their product to remain compatible with, to verify that compatibility. As such, there's certainly a large group of people who would find it very useful for Java 5 to remain in Intrepid and beyond, who will need to pursue manual installs if it is dropped. If the maintenance burden isn't prohibitive, it would certainly be very useful to retain as long as possible.
