My only concern here is that our snippets won't be copy-n-paste'able for many.  That said, the snippets are EPL'd and so this change may be in the best interests of many companies since it will force their devs need to rewrite the code to use in non-Java8 apps.

Java 7 is out of public maintenance so IMHO as a good Open Source project we should encourage and demonstrate the usage of the latest and greatest publically maintained Java version.

Mass move to 4.7 as M7 is approaching. Please move back in case you are planning to fix it for Neon.
