      I vote +2. Not because there are benefits that are perceived-only, but because of some of the reasons Markus enumerated before (specifically generics) coupled with the JAX-RS reason I've talked about.     
 
      I especially dislike and think it's a horrible practice to have the lack of type-safety that we have today in IdAS.     
 
      I kind of wish the voting could be done differently. I prefer to vote +2 and if that fails, change my vote to +1

 I think we¹ve had sufficient time to air the issues for and against. I would
 ask all Higgins committers to vote by Monday (Dec 8th) as follows:
 
 -1 = no change (the entire project stays on Java 1.4)
 0 = abstain
 +1 = selected components of Higgins 1.1 may use Java 5
 +2 = the entire Higgins 1.1 project moves to Java 5.0
 
 For the +1 case, the relevant component owner will make the decision.
 
 My vote is +2
