Before having formal vote I was wondering if we should announce sunset of jdk17
also in 10.13? At least
we should discuss. From the following web site it looks like Oracle has
already stopped public updates
of jdk17 (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html)
I would predict that there are going to be fewer new releases per year than was
originally expected when
the original vote was taken. Given current work in the community I would
assume earliest time frames
for releases would be something like:
10.12 (late 2015) - currently announcing sunset of jdk16
10.13 (late 2016) - sunsetting jdk16
10.14 (late 2017) - with no vote before 10.12 earliest jdk17 could be
sunsetted (based on agreement to give 1 release notice to users
before sunsetting jvm support).
I am just speculating on dates of releases after 10.12 as they are completely
dependent on volunteers adding enhancements and doing
the releases.
I would be in favor of sunsetting jdk17 in 10.13 also, and announcing that in the 10.12 release. Following a vote by the
community, but
first wanted to see if there is informal feedback to the contrary.
