That's only ok once we generate Java 8+ class files only. Otherwise, you create a language that, syntactically, supports static methods on interfaces, but cannot compile them for older JDKs. Since we generate JDK 5+ class formats, we cannot do this without upgrading our requirements, or adding "conditional features".
