I think https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-854, at least in the form of upgrading minor versions of log4j, zookeeper, slf4j, and jopt-simple should be considered for 0.8. The log4j upgrade especially simplifies things by dropping transitive dependencies on cruft.
The build in 0.8 does not seem to have support for a push of maven artifacts to repositories yet either.
