I'm sorry but yet again you appear to be taking a very rude attitude with other community members with basically "your opinion does not matter".
Last time I checked I was part of the *we* by being part of the community and simply saying update your infrastructure trivialises the situation for what is possibly a reasonable user base of Jenkins. Java 7 is not even end of lifed yet and so I'm wondering what the compelling argument for Java 8 is. That is, what features does it enable that will drive Jenkins to the next level?
