When the project set out to create Jython 2.7.2, it was reasonable still 
to support Java 7. Now we find ourselves on the verge of a 2.7.2 beta 
release, Java 8 seems the logical minimum. We currently build and test 
on Java 7 but some things would resolve themselves if we could move on. 
We intend to support "before and after Jigsaw" JVMs (say 8 and 11).

Straw poll: does anyone amongst our users have a good reason why Jython 
2.7.2 should run on Java 7?
