As a consultant I have very different experiences. Even in Java development you find shops that refuse to upgrade their JVM for various reasons.

RHEL 5 is really common.

A lot (all that I'm familiar with) of the enterprise software packages that I've worked with ship with their own, very specific (read: regression tested against) version of java. Enterprise software usually requires a ton of servers, so it's not like anything else on those servers will be using the jvm.
