Err, I am not a big fan of making this change after two rc's and all of
the testing I've been babysitting this week.
I have no problem with you spinning a 2.0 which is 99% similar to 1.8
with whatever else you'd like to do (in fact, I'd encourage anyone to
step up and drive 2.0 to release).

Why don't we just make the 1.8 branch 2.0 then? I really don't want to
drop support for JDKs on non-major releases; it's super disruptive.

I know we've talked about this before, but I kind of want to just use Java
8 for Accumulo 1.8. It'd help clean up some things in the build (can make
use of newer versions of build plugins, and make it easier for new
development against the latest release).
I just don't know how reasonable it is to keep making new, non-bugfix
releases on EOL JDKs (even though I may have previously argued that it'd be
safer to just wait until a major version bump).
