I don't think Jochen was proposing compiling Tapestry to anything other

Oh, I see that now. I didn't interpret it that way.
But, if we're going to force users to use a 1.8 runtime, I don't see the
point of not using everything it provides. If someone is already using
Java 8, I'd expect them to use the full set of features of the language.
I'm +1 with 5.4 being maintained for jre 1.6 or 1.7 and Tapestry 5.5
being for jre 1.8 users, because 1) it's a way to keep devs interested,
I didn't think about this before. Good catch, Bob! I agree with you.
and 2)
the potential advantages of 1.8 are huge for Tapestry. One of the biggest
would be the ability to change interfaces without breaking backward
compatibility (via default methods).
Agreed. Another thing you've thought and I didn't, Bob. You're making me
feel embarrassed! hehehe
