I'd vote for keep using java7 on 4.x branches. if upgrades to java8, it will impact users who want to upgrade the latest 4.x branches. they must consider using java8 in their running environments, maybe their libraries do not support java8, then they have to give up to upgrade. So I think that drops support java7 is not friendly for some users.
