It's intentional and we will be requiring Java 7. Java 1.6 is End of Life.

The current code could still be targeted at 1.6, and we have not
determined whether the class file format will have to change or not, but
we *will* be using Java 7 language features, and if any of those require
--target 1.7, that's what we'll be doing. In no case will we be supporting
1.6 officially.
