Here at the company, we are using Drupal Commerce heavily and we are really focused on help improving it, but as one of our greatest focus is webapps development, we are keen to start using Drupal 8, because of the great improvements for the developer experience. This raised me the doubt: will Commerce Guys want to upgrade Commerce to Drupal 8? As a company, naturally your focus wouldn't always be to use the latest version.
D6 + D7 sites were, at some level, easy to maintain in parallel, but i think that D7 and D8 will be so different, that could be difficult for the team to keep a high level switching from one to another on different projects.
Seeing http://www.drupalcommerce.org/roadmap, we can see that you have this in mind, but Open Atrium also did a roadmap saying that would be ported to D7 some years ago, but we know that migrate a distro isn't an easy task.
Is D8 still on your radar?

pcambraYeah, indeed it is, see #1467180: Open 2.x Drupal Commerce branch
Comment #2
pedrorocha commentedYeah, i saw this node, but it says that things were waiting the 2.x branch to start, that was supposed to be created some months ago, so it didn't get clarified to me if i missed something or the roadmap suffered changes.
Will Drupal Commerce 2.x awaits till D8 become stable?
Comment #3
rszrama commentedYep, of course it will be ported to Drupal 8. The 2.x branch / roadmap are for D8, but until Drupal 8 stabilizes, it didn't make sense to open the branch. Up until late last week they were still changing / adding new features, such as the conditions / actions APIs that will replace Rules on D8. You can follow that issue pcambra linked to be notified when active development begins.
