Not really. We'll continue to support everything we can until it becomes
a real burden. We phased out 1.1 support when we needed 1.2 features. I
wouldn't say we need 1.5 features now.

Not really, Java really does maintain backwards compatibility. It just
means we can't use new features everywhere. There is some conditional
compilation and different directories for different JDK versions, but that
doesn't really affect the core of the driver.
