I'd also like to suggest something. You have made lots of tests that cover the functionality of new default methods in Map and other collections interfaces which prove the correctness of behaviour when used with implementations of those interfaces in JDK. Perhaps It would be wise to extend those tests to include some JDK-external implementations that are known to pass basic tests, taken for example from Guava or Apache Commons or even JDK7. The interactions of default methods with existing methods in various implementations of collection interfaces could reveal "bugs" that may be on the part of default methods. I'm sure the maintainers of these external implementations will do the same, but may be doing that only after JDK8 release.
This seems like a good idea, as it would help ensure more generally that new JDK versions work with key existing libraries.
