I believe the argument was something to the effect that the reference
port was Intel 64bit for the new features/super benchmarks, and they
didn't have the resources or the customer requirement or some such to
support beyond the effort to bring Java 6 natively to the platform. I
was informed that people won't be forced to adopt it, and that 1.5
will be around for quite some time. But, as a server-targeted
solution, you still need dev boxes to develop for it.
