Having to use Java 7, you mean? I think if you're slightly modifying an existing module (especially a very core one like "engine") the benefits of switching to Java 8 are not worth the (potential) disruption, especially if it's just for "programming comfort". If switching to Java 8 brings tangible benefits, a brief explanation with a [LAZY] vote is probably just what you need to make it happen. -Bertrand
