Gary Gregory commented on EXEC-70:
----------------------------------

Now that 1.2 is out, I think we can bump up the JRE requirement. Should the new minimum be Java 5, 6 or 7? can you provide a patch for this feature?

> Direct calls to Thread constructors are usually a bad idea. It's better to allow callers to configure a ThreadFactory, and to invoke that to create them for us. This would allow callers to adjust thread priorities, names, daemon/user thread levels, thread groups and UncaughtExceptionHandlers.
