Indeed, things are starting to be really problematic with 8.5 and Java 7 ... It can only become worse and 8.5 only becomes EOL once 11 is stable. This will take some time ... Another issue is after the change the testsuite will most likely never get run ever again with Java 8, so that could be a problem. So tentative +1 after testing.
