as Java EE7 requires the minimum Java version being 7.
I was actually trying to find this somewhere.
Can you point to *exactly* where this is stated?
I was unable to find such statement.

Hi Matej,
My vote is "not to drop JDK 7 support", as Java EE7 requires the minimum
Java version being 7. If you remove the JDK7 support, this will have big
impact to the customer who are currently use JDK7.
Weld 3.x requires JDK 8, which is understandable.
Many thanks,
Emily

Valid point, it would definitely make sense to raise minor version in
this
case.
We are unsure if we will actually remove jdk 7 sipport, but at this
point
any request for backport
or any attempt at support for newer java versions presents a
considerable
pain because of JDK 7 support.
Therefore I concluded I will ask on this mail and see if it would be ok
to
eventually remove the support.
