{quote}Also, I had one unrelated question: why is Apache 5 targeting Java 7? I
can see two important benefits to targeting Java 8 instead:

To make long story short it is mainly to simplify portability to Android and
potentially other mobile platforms. And we still have downstream projects who
used to be quite upset about our dropping Java 5 compatibility not so long ago.
Now the plan is to revisit Java 8 compatibility in the 5.1 development cycle.

> It would be very helpful to me if the Apache client provided an
> implementation of the [Reactive Streams|http://www.reactive-streams.org/]
> spec, particularly as an implementation of the standard
> [interfaces|https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.reactivestreams/reactive-streams/1.0.2/jar].
> These interfaces are JDK6-compatible and have no other dependencies, but
> they unlock interoperability with many other frameworks, such as RxJava.
