I am glad that we are taking a bit of time here. There is no rush to push 2.4 tomorrow I feel since we added a lot of code (not complex code but still).
In fact, I would not mind _not_ cutting an RC for a couple of days to let the dust settle and let all of us take a second and third look. For Java 6 users, this is where people that care can provide patches, help, and do some work. If there are volunteers to put out another 2.3.x - Java 6 release, more power to them, I'm not in that boat ATM. WRT Java versions, for me at work, it's a matter of how soon we jump from Java 7 to 8 (which has mostly to do with IBM having solid Java 8 support on their hardware).
