Not sure what java.lang.invoke utility methods you are having in mind, to me it looks complex enough that getting such an API right is not straight forward and could be better developed outside Lang.
Let's do what Gary proposes and an orderly upgrade - our Java 7 intermediary will mainly be syntactical and not really add many benefits to Commons Lang Users as opposed to a Java 8 baseline. However the benefits will be for the devs so that Lang is in good shape for moving to Java 8 next. Also it dampens any screams e.g. from Android community who tend to lay behind a few JDK versions.
