Before I start the process of preparing the release files for the first release
of the 13.07 series and call a vote on it I would like to get your feedback on
a couple of topics.
Should we backport to it the recent switch to Java 7?
What does this mean exactly?
Should it run with Java 7 (including passing all tests)? Yes, of course
... actually is does, I just checked.
Should Java 7 be the minimum requirement to run it? I'm not sure on this
one ... about which commit are you talking?
If we copy all from trunk, there we forced to use Java 7 (in macros.xml)
Should we backport to it the recent update to Log4j2?
I haven't followed this changed closely but it sounds good and "No more
missing log entries due to logger overflows" sounds actually like a
bugfix to me ;-)
+1 for this change
Hè Christian, you are quite right! :)

The main reason I am asking this is that once we release the first release out
of 13.07, for sure we will not backport the aforementioned upgrades (because
they are not bugs); however the 13.07 releases will stay with us for at least 2
years and it would be nice to do the migration to these new technologies now.
