Another consideration is Scala 3 still isn't well supported by some
infrastructures. For example, I believe Apache Spark does not officially support
Scala 3.
We could potentially maintain support for both 2.13 and 3.x and cross publish,
and Daffodil + Scala 3 could only be used in systems with newer versions of Java
and infrastructures that don't depend on Scala 2.13, but that might be a bit of
a maintenance/test burden. And is probably only worth if if there are some real
noticeable benefits from Scala 3.

This may have implications for our port to scala 3. I'm not sure our
Cyberian users can move up to JDK 17.
