Sorry. You misunderstood my comment.
I was noting that users who want to run ACS which requires Java 8 could
also run applications that can not run on Java 8 (although I have never
heard of an application that would not run with the Java 8 JRE) by
running both jre7 and jre8.
Of course once you convert to Java 8 with the changes (streams and
consolidation of interfaces and abstract classes) that I suggested in my
earlier posting, it will require the Java 8 jre.

Ron,
Upon upgrade, we will start using features and runtime classes/methods
introduced with Java8. Therefore, it will become mandatory upgrade from Java7
to Java8 when adopting the release with these changes.
Thanks,

It would seem that a major version would be appropriate.
I am not sure why someone could not use both Java 8 and Java 7.
I have Java 3 versions 6, 7, and 8 available on my Windows 7 PC.
I would have thought that Linux would be at least that flexible.
Is it really not possible to run Java 8 on Ubuntu 14.04?
http://tecadmin.net/install-oracle-java-8-jdk-8-ubuntu-via-ppa/ suggests that
it can be run on versions as old as 10.04

It only means that we are dropping support for newer ACS versions.
It most likely won't get into 4.9, which means 14.04 will be supported a
few more weeks/months.
We could mention in the 4.9 RN that for the next release (call it 5.0
because of the change?) will only be supported by $xyz distribution versjons
