I don't think we should simply say

as that doesn't explain what the issue is. If I'm building the JDK for
my own use I can use JDK8. So how about:
"JDK 8 developers should not use JDK 8 as the boot JDK, to ensure that
code changes are compatible with building using JDK 7."
This suggested wording, along with Stuarts other additions to the README, look
fine. I think this should be pushed, and the other issues handled separately.
Guys, thanks for the review and comments. I've just pushed a change to
README-builds.html that adopts a modified version of David's suggestion, the
essence of which is changing "Do not use..." to "JDK 8 developers should not
use...."
