I have no idea of the effort involved, so I'm going to pretend that it would be easy.....
It would be great if our plugin model for network functions could become more of a driver model, such that these things could be developed and maintained independantly of the ACS release cycles. It would be a fantastic step toward a proper, flexible NFV offering.

An experimental PR [2] shows that moving to Java8 is fairly straight forward. The only component that is failing is F5 network plugin, which lacks authors/maintainers as this issue has been previously raised on dev@ [3]. In order to move to JDK8, we'll need to take hard decisions to comment/exclude plugins such as F5 from the default build profiles that may not get fixes and improvements from their authors/maintainers. Thoughts, comments?
