I would argue that Java 6 is far more widespread on 7.1 than Java 7 or 8.
Even with Java 6 unsupported now and 7.1 unsupported in less than 90 days.
A little mind boggling.

Do people really not add the newer version of JAVA to their systems? I
find this whole problem 'amusing'. :-)

If you load 7.1 HTTP Group PTF level 52 with ONLY Java 6 installed then

your HTTP Admin server will break. You need Java 8 64-bit AND one of Java 7
32/64-bit installed. HTTP Group 52 removes Java 6 support from the HTTP
Admin server. Check the HTTP Group 52 cover letter.
