Valid reasons for not wanting to move trunk to java 8? "I'm concerned about the stability of IDE support for java 8". "I'm worried there are not enough best-practices/publications to prevent the codebase from going crazy", etc Invalid reasons for not wanting to move trunk to java 8? Corporate policies, production policies, anything about production whatsoever. Trunk is intentionally supposed to be separate from the stable branch for reasons like this. It should only be limited by our imagination. When making votes like this, please do what you think is best for the open source project, instead of what you think is best for your corporation. I'm +1 for both proposals myself. But i think its also ok to wait a month or so after java8 release before moving trunk to it, to see what the adoption is like. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
