It would seem that a major version would be appropriate.
I am not sure why someone could not use both Java 8 and Java 7.
I have Java 3 versions 6, 7, and 8 available on my Windows 7 PC.
I would have thought that Linux would be at least that flexible.
Is it really not possible to run Java 8 on Ubuntu 14.04?
http://tecadmin.net/install-oracle-java-8-jdk-8-ubuntu-via-ppa/ suggests
that it can be run on versions as old as 10.04

It only means that we are dropping support for newer ACS versions.
It most likely won't get into 4.9, which means 14.04 will be supported a
few more weeks/months.
We could mention in the 4.9 RN that for the next release (call it 5.0
because of the change?) will only be supported by $xyz distribution versjons
