As our Jenkins [1] kept failing with a memory corruption on Java 6 [2]
and I anticipate us to drop Java 6 support in one way or another soon
anyway, I disabled the respective dimension.

I think we should drop support for running Oak 1.3.x on Java 6.
At least the Oracle JDK 6 version is not supported anymore
and does not receive any security updates.
We could still restrict Oak to the Java 6 language level and runtime
library features to make sure we can backport fixes. E.g. Apache
Sling is using the animal sniffer tool to check compatibility with
earlier Java versions.
