Release notes of v1.0.0 mentions "_Upgraded to Joda-Time 2.9.2_".
If we're targeting first-class Java 8 support in v1.0.0, why use Joda-Time at all? java.time library replaces joda-time project.

See #1383. We decided to leave Joda-Time support in 1.0.0 to simplify migration of Dropwizard applications from 0.9.x to 1.0.x. Many applications still use Joda-Time extensively, and can't easily
switch to the new Date/Time API (JSR-310). Despite that Stephen Colebourne (the library author) advises users to migrate to the new API, he still maintains the project. So, in fact, Joda-Time has a big user base and constantly updated. For these reasons, we don't want to drop its support.
