Is it time to move on? Should feign move to `java 8`?

See original GitHub issue

Right now, feign is compatibility is bound to java 6.

Is it time to release feign 10.0 with java 8? (10.x was @spencergibb suggestion)

@kdavisk6 suggested we start a discussion about it.

I think we should consider feign 10 with java 8.

I don’t have any features in mind, but that will open doors for sure. May be, for feign 10 we publish java 8 and use retrofeign to keep publishing java 6 libraries, with plans to remove java 6 support on feign 11.

How does that sound like?
