No objections. A while back I had thought of proposing this. The worry I 
had/have was that doing some of these refactoring might introduce hard 
to catch regressions in the core of Ivy itself (which I personally 
haven't fully had a grasp of yet). Having said that, targetting Ivy 
against Java 7 at this point isn't worth it. I think as long as we do 
the changes/modernizations in controlled manner it's a good idea and I'm 
in favour of.
