I'm ok as far as the launchpad is concerned, OTOH we have lots of stable modules which work fine with Java 7 and where moving to Java 8 brings nothing. So those can stay backwards compatible which is often useful. So IMO we should keep a working Java 7 build, even if it won't be able to run the launchpad anymore, and maybe create a java7 Maven profile to omit some modules for that build. -Bertrand
