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?
