Thank you for the insight. The reason I brought this topic up is that: * the support for JDK 11 stops in September (security support will continue), * Spring is using Java 17, * I had the wrong impression that the Java world polarized between those that will stick to Java 8 forever (and Java EE 8) and those that use the latest LTS. Apparently I was wrong. Java 17 does not bring anything we can not live without. I mentioned switching to it, because I found a couple of classes that could be `sealed`. Piotr
