I am not suggesting moving the stable branch to java 8, only trunk. Your statement implies I am suggesting moving the entire project to java 8. I don't think everyone is understanding that separation. Trunk is *supposed* to be bleeding edge. The stable branch can continue to support java 7, even for some time after EOL (IIRC it was a while after Java 6 EOL that the stable branch moved to java 7).
