The problem is that most users that report bugs seem to be
running the official releases.  Since the trunk is incompatible
with NetBeans 3.5, these users can only run the (old) stable
branch of NetBeans - they cannot try and give feedback on the
new features.

However, I don't mind dropping this support, it would save some
merging effort. I just remember pressure to support 3.4 a while
back when 3.5 was in beta.
