Out of curiosity, is anybody actually running ABCL on Java 5 at the moment? Oracle has designated Java 5 as obsolete at this point, but it is probably still in use in legacy enterprise situations where migration is not possible for one reason or another. In my opinion, if we were to make a leap, I would probably skip Java 6, and go straight to Java 7, as there is much greater gain for the pain in the subjective terms of useful APIs.
The usual pattern seems to be to keep an old stable version available for download for users on older platforms.
