> Java 7 is long EOL; having branch-2 require it is simply making the release
> process a pain (we aren't building, testing, or releasing on java 7 JVMs any
> more, are we?).
> Staying on java 7 complicates backporting, JAR updates for CVEs (hello
> Guava!) &c are becoming impossible.
> Proposed: increment javac.version = 1.8
