I thought that too. But then I thought that it would probably be the
first time Apple has restricted their software to such a new segment
of their hardware market. But I'm not taking chances.
I'm working on Java 6 product which targets developers. By the time
we're ready to release I'm hoping that Soylatte and Quaqua will be
decent enough to bundle with the app as installer. Seems a shame to
add 60MB to a 1MB file but it's better than the current situation.
Here's to hoping it's ready.

Personally, my reading between the lines has convinced me that
(IMO) there will be NO 32-bit version of Java 6 *ever*. My MacBook
Pro (yes, core duo, not core 2) will never run it. Ditto for the
many thousands of others out there in the same boat. Which of
course means that deployment of Java 6 apps "in the main" will be
at least another year, perhaps two or even more (given habits by
most corporations and users for EOL current hardware) down the
road, unless we go the Soy Latte route. And even if SL is complete
and *works perfectly*, there is a natural antithesis to the 'OSX
way' to deploy a Java different than the one that Apple works so
hard at to make a seamless part of the OS.
Summary: it is very difficult to swallow having to cough up another
~$4000 so soon for me personally. It is even more difficult to
recognize that the ability for me to realistically use Java 6 on
OSX is constrained by hardware turnover in the Mac community.

I did exactly that over a month ago (Problem ID: 5657161, State:

anything
back from Apple...
