The connector might work, but it is going to require a little extra
juggling for the users to exclude the 1.5 transitive dependencies.

How about just backporting the changes? We internally use the newer SDK
with a number of other consumer patches on top of 1.4.2 and it works fine.

Normally such changes don't qualify for a patch version, but since it is
going to stop working anyways, there is probably no harm in this instance.
