Frankly, I think that the lack of generics in commons components drives away more users than having java 1.4 compatibility retains.
I personally won't incorporate any non-genericized components if I can help it. There are a few exceptions where I might like math libraries (oh wait, commons-math already uses generics). Remember, java 1.6 is a few months away from EOL. Adopting it now is hardly avant garde.
