Java 1.5 maintenance release schedule

With the new release plan regarding major and minor releases to the standard edition, is there any preliminary information regarding any planned maintenance releases for the 1.5 release such as 1.5.1 or 1.5.2? I recall that the goal starting with 1.5 was for Sun to focus on major releases (mustang, etc) rather than maintenance which would potentially preclude these maintenance releases like 1.5.1, 1.5.2. It appears that the bug database has quite a few fixes that could go into a 1.5.1 release or perhaps a 1.5.0_xx (03 at this time).

Has Sun chosen to discontinue development towards X.x.1 releases and focus on patches/updates - _yy (e.g. _01, _02, etc)? Does 1.5.0_01 really mean 1.5.1, 1.5.0_02 = 1.5.2?

There is a blog by one of the Sun execs that explains that there wil not be a 1.5.1 version. The time between major releases (1.5, 1.6) has been shortened and that 1.5.0_03 should be considered as equivalent to 1.5.1. (His first name is Gordon.)

I assume there will be a 1.5.0_04, based on rumor and that 1.6 is planned for 2006.
