For the _main_ branch, yes. The _branch_9x_ remains unchanged - it stays on Java 11. So, if you’re planning to backport a change from main to 9x, then you may want to consider what Java language feature and/or JDK API you use - to make the backport more straightforward. But this is nothing new, _main_ is already on Java 17, while 9x is on Java 11, so the scenario already exists, just that the range is changing with this proposal.
