Switching to Java 5 in the 2.3.x branch too?

Any opinions, especially against it?

To keep back porting to the 2.3.x branch (or, currently, forward
porting to the 2.4.x branch) less expensive, and to ease development
in general, I think it doesn't worth keeping support for older Java
version anymore in the 2.3.x branch. (2.4.x was always Java 5.)
There's the backward compatibility promise in 2.3.x, but I think that
doesn't have to apply to the runtime environment requirements that
strictly.

Besides, I have already pulled a such change by requiring Java 1.4
instead of 1.2 starting with 2.3.21 (2014-10-12), but that was a less
steep change.
