Comment:

 I'd like to put this on hold until Java 8 is available in Debian stable,
 not just in backports, and that might still take a couple of months.  (If
 Java 8 had any critical features or fixes that we'd rely on, we could use
 backports, but it seems that's not the case, so why rush this.)  And once
 Java 8 is in Debian stable we'll have to wait until all projects depending
 on metrics-lib have upgraded, which may take another month or so.  The
 2.0.0 milestone seems too optimistic for all this, so I'm removing the
 milestone for now.
