Github user HeartSaVioR commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/1628 +1 for the change but would like to hold this until we finish a formal process. For me changing minimum requirement is an important decision for the project so handling this with only general consensus seems not enough. I don't remember how we change minimum requirement as Java 7, but ideally we need to VOTE to confirm/record the decision of the PMC. Some PMC members already gave positive feedbacks so it tends to be passed, but it would be better to hear more voices from other PMC members, especially representing OK (+1) or NO (-1).
