At our office, we have a mixed rollout of Eclipse 3.2 and 3.3, so this 
won't affect us.

If you consider the current release cycle, then the 1.2 tree will likely 
be around for a while. I guess that in 12 months 3.2 will be difficult 
to get hold of and won't be a big factor.

I'm running Ubuntu Hardy and 3.2 is in the repositories. This is a fair 
argument for having 3.2 support. But then again, those with eclipse 3.2 
can always just use the 1.1 versions?


If dropping 3.2 support allows for a better product faster, then those 
are compelling reasons.

Is there any way that we can get an idea of the install base?

Are there any eclipse studies/stats about usage?
