Well, since yesterday, we do know some things
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_gsorbySktXNjMywDFZE0_eTm_r2zfPKdmq7AqWO2uQ/edit#gid=1770972416>
.


   - Java 8 as runtime represents 52% of the 133505 instances out there
   (yes, it's ignoring the opted-out ones)
   - Maven-plugin is installed 118711 times (yes, ignoring on purpose the
   fact it was auto-installed up to 2.x)
   - So, *at most* it's 46% of the users base who *might *be impacted here,
   if they were to upgrade in the very short term (that is: while also still
   using an EoLed JDK7 durably).

Now, looking at the trend of the number of installs of that plugin, my guts
feeling is that is less than that. And if you add that to the trend of Java
7 JVM users (see link above), then it is most probably going down even
quicker.

An example I have in mind is my previous company, pretty sure they didn't
upgrade to Jenkins 2.x yet, so they still contribute to that stats, but we
migrated off that plugins years ago after so many headaches and hours spent
to debug different behaviours between Maven CLI and using it in Jenkins.

Correlating with
http://stats.jenkins.io/plugin-installation-trend/jenkins-version-per-plugin-version.json
I think we would have even more data, but seems like that data is wrong.
Gonna find the one who contributed that and hit him (I know him pretty
well).
