I'm in favor of dropping support for java 6 and 7 and have little reason to
believe anyone still using older releases is also taking library upgrades.

Good call, pretty reasonable. I agree with stopping the support for Java 6
and 7.

According to Adopt OpenJDK[1], version 8 will be supported until at least
May 2026, while Java 11 will be supported until at least October 2024.
That obviously doesn't affect Java 7, but it may affect any plans as to
when Java 8 will be dropped.

InfoQ had an article from Sept 2020 indicating Java 11 was about 20% of
production deployments and Java 8 had the rest. So release 2.x is going to be

The JRebel report from January shows that about 69% of Java users are using
Java 8. Java 11 is at about 36%. The only problem here is that Java 12 or
newer is 12% and Java 7 or older is 15% That totals 132% so I really have no
idea what to make of these numbers.

That's fine with me.
FWIW: At work, what is holding us back moving from Java 8 to 11 is
that IBM does not support a production level Java 11 on the i/Series
yet (EA only IIRC).

Log4j 2.3 was the last Log4j 2 release to support Java 6. We have made no
patches to it since it was released in 2015. As I recall Java 6 was already
EOL on public updates by the time we moved to Java 7. As near as I can tell
Oracle’s extended support for Java 6 ended in December 2018. Maven C
