It's Java 6 compatible at runtime, not at build time. We can say that
because:
- the project is configured to generate Java 6 compatible bytecode
- 99% of the code doesn't use Java 7 APIs

The Java 6 compatibility stops if the new utils classes are used.

Yes, and we release source that builds with Java 7 and runs with Java 6.
