Personally I don't care what is used but I think it is smarter to wait before requiring Java 7. The security concern is not a valid argument IMHO because the security is a matter of the JVM and not the code. If you are concerned you can run Java 6 code in a maintained JVM (openjdk or a java 7 one).
