If there is a strong desire to maintain BC with J2SE 1.3, I'll resort to the JdkCompat mechanism, but both Remy and Jess voiced (strongly in the case of Jess) opinions that there was no need for it.
Though I strongly feel Java 2 v1.3.1 is too old to bother with it (and that those who are still stuck back on it for some strange reason can stick with older versions of Tomcat as well), I do believe a statement that "this and future versions of Tomcat shall require Java 2 v1.4 or higher" should accompany the first public release after any change requiring Java 2 v1.4 for basic functionality.
Personally I'd prefer to drop J2SE 1.3 support. It gives me another argument to management for "See, those AIX 4.3 boxes are so old we cannot use the latest Tomcat on them because a 1.4 JVM isn't available."
As a programmer/site admin/all around nice guy :) I think it would be nice if there was one more stable release that supported J2SE 1.3 that included an announcement like "This is the last version that will run on J2SE 1.3. All future versions of Tomcat will require a 1.4 JVM. You have been warned."
