2.2 is under develoment (alpha!) and should not be used in production. IMO we 
are free to use 1.4 for now. When we reach a consolidated state of Cocoon core 
2.2 we can try to compile with 1.3 and see what is needed to enable the support 
  again. If possible, we should do it, if not, then not. This is my 
interpretation of the results.
So no vote is needed.

Doing the maths, the vote was in favor of 1.4. :-D

Seriously, I understand the concerns at that time (9 months ago). The
user's POLL showed that most of them are using 1.4:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=107821686900002&r=1&w=2

I just found 1 vote against and the reasons was not so good to me:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=107831280121346&w=2

Because I guess SAP already (or soon will) ship a new version supporting 1.4

I read some time ago, that Sun will not release newer version for 1.3 and
1.4. Maybe that was only a rumor. Not sure, but the problem is that open
bugs in older JVM will remain open forever.

The complexity for us (committers) is a little bit hard: 2 branches:

1-with 3 JVM (1.3, 1.4 and 1.5)
2-with 2 JVM (1.4 and 1.5).

In short 5 compilations of cca. 10 minuts each one to check changes! This
is the current situation. :-(

In any case:

Do you think we need a new vote again? :-)

Best Regards,

Antonio Gallardo.

Here the missing summary:

+1  : Antonio, Stefano, Unico, Bruno
-0.5: Ugo, Jörg, Leo (nb), Reinhard, Pier

People who voted with -0.5 were not against 1.4 but said that this really needs 
a good usecase that can only be implemented (easily) with 1.4 and not with 1.3.

Not to end in a chicken-egg-situation, we agreed that 1.4 is the minimum for 2.2 
for now. When we are ready to release Cocoon 2.2 we will look through the code 
of Cocoon _core_ and if there is no major blocker we will support 1.3 again, if 
this is not possible, 1.4 will remain the minimum.
