There have been no modifications to the Java 8 runtime, it will just ignore stuff in the META-INF/versions/{N} directories.

At one point we were mulling back porting the Java 9 runtime changes to Java 8 and therefore we could go back to Java 7, but we decided not to proceed with that, which is what i suspect you may be thinking about.
