Maybe nobody is interested to upgrade the Java version if they are not forced to. If nobody force them, then CM will have to support Java 6 even for 5.0 release. The sooner we drop support for older version, the better. I'd say that current and current - 1 versions(i.e. 7 and 8) are more than enough.
