I could do it for Elytron tests since they only run under Java 8 anyway. :-)

For this discussion, I'm just trying to get a feel for when we might 
make the switch.  I agree it may be a long way off for adapters.

But I just got confirmation the WildFly 10 will require Java 8.  If 
that's our target platform for productization maybe we should target 
Java 8 for the server side to coincide with that.

Maybe Bolek has a better idea of the productization timing?
