My plan is to port any fixes from 1.5.x releases to 1.6.0 if any or encourage others to do so. I do not plan on touching 1.5.x once 1.6 is out. Because of the binary compatibility of 1.6, I would hope that folks would patch 1.6 first and then port to 1.5.x if asked by users, but that's just me. I see a non-generics pool1 as a dead end. 2.0 is great but unreleased and NOT a drop in, hence 1.6.
