Glen, While I'm sympathetic to your general argument, I don't think it's especially applicable here.
Adopting 1.6 means allowing approximately 5 new functions in the Arrays class. (OK, a slight exaggeration.) Really, the practical impact of 1.6 is tiny. No one working on CXF is deprived of any interesting learning opportunities or functionality by continuing to stick to 1.5. --benson
