I totally agree that we should try to get Sling 7 out soon; it's been a long time since Sling 6... I think, current trunk should work with Java 7 - for Java 8, well, while it would be nice, I don't see this that urgent, especially as Java 8 has been delayed.
The best way to tackle this, is to look at the snapshot dependencies in our builder bundle list, see what needs to be done to release those bundles, work on the issues and release them.
