Yes, since there are still packages that don't build with 1.5, (new
methods, etc). And since we do not have to resources to patch them, we
can just force it to use a 1.4 one, untill upstream releases a new
version, or someone patches it, this way it does not block/hold back the
rest, like the case is now.

It also allows for when you have a 1.4 as system-vm, and package needs
1.5 features.

Also, the launcher wrapper to run java apps uses the same base to switch
vm in the abose case (1.4 user/system vm, starting an app that needs
1.5)

Yeah, most of it kind of requires you to know how the eclass works and
the java-config & friends. And when I craeted the todo list it was only
for me personaly
You can always message me on irc, if you want to work on anything, i'd
be happy to give a more detailed explainastion 
I might explain things a bit better in it, the next few days.

Thanks
