Point taken. For some reason, a lot of the code work i've encountered is tied to JDK 8. Might be due to it having LTS until 2018 [1].
It could be anecdotal, but I've found in practice vendors and companies are conservative about their JDK upgrades. I haven't seen anything prior to JDK 6 in a while, but I don't think the upgrade cycle is as fast as say, python minor version upgrades.
