I am neutral about moving to Java 8 soon. We have just recently started to make a lot of package rename changes that really belong in 3.0 and not in 2.11... We should consider doing a 2.11 release from a commit before we started to rename packages.
Then doing the modules split-off and clarifying the internal vs exported classes would be a good fit for a 3.0 major release.
