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`.
