   I can rebase it but we don't have agreement on the next steps.
   
   Argument 1: Developers want to use new jdk features and new syntaxes and we 
are building "jdk8 compatible jars" anyways.
   Argument 2: We are running under risk that "jdk8 compatible jars" don't 
actually work on jre8 for some reason (a bug in jdk's compatibility mode 
compilation)
   
   After talking to @ashvina and @the-other-tim-brown offline, they felt 
strongly about not taking away developer's ability to develop against latest 
JDK features and I think that's needed to attract more contributors. On the 
other hand, I don't have data to support Argument 2 as of now and so backed 
off.
