In this (and the related threads), I see the following three requirements: 1. "Bump the source JDK version to JDK8" (ie, drop JDK7 support).
2. "We'll still be releasing 2.x releases for a while, with similar feature sets as 3.x." 3. Avoid the "risk of split-brain behavior" by "minimize backporting headaches. Pulling trunk > branch-2 > branch-2.x is already tedious. Adding a branch-3, branch-3.x would be obnoxious." These three cannot be achieved at the same time. Which do we abandon?
