the only problem is that we are not really requiring it. We are not using anything of 1.7 functionality. If people compile (as i do) Mahout, they can compile any bytecode version they want.
There are some 1.7 artifact dependencies in H20 but 1.7 would be required at run time only and only if the people are actually using h2obindings as dependency (which i expect majority would not care for).
