+1 (nb) There are the following pain points (mentioned in the discussion thread as well) related to this option but other options look even worse :-), so I think it is a fair cost:
- potential necessity to update 3rd party dependencies in GA branches to support a newer JDK - deprecating of JDK features we use: the nearest one which I see is Unsafe methods removal (probably since JDK26) which will force us to switch to FFM API (which one is GA only since JDK 22, so it means to support older JDK versions we have to introduce some kind of conditional logic around it).
