OK, I will create branches and we can have RC1.

Originally you had hoped for an early March release. What sort of
release date should we be targetting? The release was scheduled for
the 1/Mar/2017. I recommend we have an RC as soon as I can do it (next
day or so), and if nothing comes up we can promote the RC to a release
next Friday, 17/March.

I am not sure when I could find time for doing this. PRs solicited
from Java 7/6 consumers?

Ian and/or Scott, you have both raised issues in the past with Java 8.
How are you building January targeting previous versions?
