I didn’t have any time yet to check the Java updates, but they don’t
really affect many packages anyway (other than Java packages), so I
don’t think they’re all that critical.

I tend to agree. The whole jdk closure is about 200 packages.

Packages patched to work with java8 is on the order of 50, or so.

Even if 200 is too much, we can delay flipping the defaults. Then the

50 in need of individual patches can go in. WDYT?
