All,
Thank you for your feedback. We've no outstanding objections to the PR, at the time of the 4.10 release we'll document the new requirements around JRE1.8 and new systemvmtemplate in our installation/upgrade notes. I'll proceed with the merge later this week.

Yes, I understood that your proposal didn't change the debian version, I suggested that it should do, since when we do update the debian version we have to test everything over again anyway. That said, I won't oppose your proposal, I'm +1 of upgrading to jdk 1.8 -- Erik tor. 5. jan. 2017 kl. 15.46 skrev Rohit Yadav <rohit.ya...@shapeblue.com>: > Erik, > > > > > > The PR I've proposed does not change the base Debian distro, it's still > Debian 7 (wheezy) and not Jessie.
