AFAIK JDK8 should be the baseline as it can *force* the hand for adoption,
yes, this is desired.
Otherwise we'll be stuck in JDK7 or even worse, JDK6.

JDK8 also opens the door for additional design features such as

 - static methods on interfaces
 - default methods
 - repeatable annotations
 - usage of Optional
