Hi,
all the points based on Java 8/11/17 is supported for a long time, does
not really make sense from my point of view, because you can create code
for JDK 8 even with JDK 21 (you get warnings about that; different
story) and for those edge cases where it really requires a different
JDK, you can use toolchains which existing very very long. Or you might
using Maven 3.X anyway...
In the VOTE for JDK 17 the same arguments have been given. My opinion
is to go for JDK 21... because in September the next LTS JDK 25 will be
released...
Kind regards

So basically, all we did so far was "waste of resources"
as Java 8 is there to stay, at least until 2030, right?
Why did we bother at all!

Even with Java 17 support ending in ~15 months FOR PERSONAL USE.
This is **NOT** true, though people keep repeating this. Java 8, 11,
and 17 will be supported for some time to come. Oracle might stop
supporting them. Oracle != Java. For example, Amazon has commited "to
provide performance enhancements and security updates at no cost until
at least the specified date for the relevant release version (e.g.
December 2030 for Corretto 8)." There are many other vendors.
