Because we never agreed to move to 1.7. And I don't think it makes sense. Java 6 is not even EOL yet (close, yes). The only 1.7 source requirement as I understand it is that jaxb "required" thing that you added. We do currently need *javac* from 1.7 to compile master (and metamodel since we are merging master into it) but that is due to a bug in the 1.6 javac (see earlier email to the dev list). But there is actually nothing there that is not 1.6 compatible in either source nor bytecode.
