   +1. As further background, we have delayed doing such changes earlier since having such differences between branches makes applying patches more difficult - often leads to manual merge fixes which although simple, can be a little painful for large patches. Since 2.5 and 3.0 both now have JDK 7 min (8 for 3.0) I think it is safe to do this change. If we ever want to backport some fixes and re-release another 2.4 release, we'll have to be a little careful. I'd recommend applying to both branches (where applicable) using two commits if needed (and if it makes it easier).
