I want to understand a lot more about the classpath isolation (HADOOP-11656) proposal, specifically, what is proposed and does it have to be tagged as incompatible? That's a bigger change than must setting javac.version=8 in the POM —though given what a fundamental problem it addresses, I'm in favour of doing something there.

These, while perhaps not revolutionary, are still incompatible, and require a major version bump.
