Nobody is using 2.12 yet; so I think we should move to 2.11.x.

Version 1.5 should support 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12.   (And support for 2.12
will require JDK 8, but we should still support 2.10 and 2.11 with JDK 7).

Agree with can drop support for JDK6.

Do we have motivation to target only JDK 8?   If so, what is it?

Agree with have to move on ... many gems no longer maintained for 1.8.7.

Re: [DISCUSS] Only support official supported Ruby versions

[Antoine Toulme]

Can we do this?
-1.4.x is the stable stream with 1.8.7 support (JRuby 1.6.7.2)
-1.5.x is MRI 2.2.5, 2.3.1, JRuby 1.7.25 and Jruby 9.0.5.0.

Also looking at Travis:
JDK6 for 1.4.x. stream
JDK7 for 1.4.x and 1.5.x
JDK8 for 1.5.x and going forward
