I think the below message is correct, we do provide a disappointing
first experience for new users trying out Sling, mostly due to
SLING-2348.

I'm not sure how far down the road Sling 7 is is, but can we at least
mark the official download as Java 6-only and ask the user to eobuild
one himself/herself ?

Alternatively, we can go on and release Sling 7 "soon", but I'm not sure
how feasible it is right now.
