Result of the VOTE: - 8 binding +1 and 3 non-binding +1 - no veto
The VOTE is passed! So what do we need to do now: - change the top level pom to reflect this (compiler setting + release plugin config) - modify agents on CI to use Java7. However we probably need to leave some agents on Java6 to build 5.x branches. Anything else?
