SLF4J now requires Java 6
And here you are complaining we haven’t moved to Java 8 as the minimum...

Plus the whole multi-version jars feature is super handy for a library like
Log4j which can add support for each new Java version while maintaining BC
with older Java releases without having to resort to reflection hacks and
other dynamic loading.

From Java 9, interfaces can have private methods that can be called from interface default methods. This is to reduce duplicate code in default method implementations.

Did Java 9 add anything more than Java 8 for this?

Requiring Java 8 minimum would make more sense to start with for Core and
the other modules. It's too bad that Java 8 and 9 added language features
that would have been immensely useful for maintaining a backwards
compatible API (default and private methods on interfaces), though I
suppose that will be more useful in the future century when most
applications have Java 8 or 9 as the minimum.
