[joke]this last diagram looks like you are looking for piece[/] I'm not sure the weight can be linear like that, it is not because you are old that you will die - lot of java 21 tody is still PoC or toy projects so should be in the weight somehow if we go this way.
Ultimately your user agent idea was really better than java stat alone since it is really a cross matrix/time unit we should check. Sadly all these stats miss, for my understanding, the dynamic behind (like seeing a random point in a exponential vs linear graph, alone you don't know where you are going to). >From memory, trying to use the last years figures it seems the dynamic is to follow the LTS with some lateness, ie current is 21 but people are around 11-17. Like a sliding window. Indeed the public polls I use - the ones you get on twitter from intellij or friends - for that conclusion are biased cause they hit more "geeks" than standard work people but I don't have anything better right now in terms of time serie. Anyone has more comparative data about that? My proposal/thought was really to align on that dynamic - from the latest to a limit to cover ~>=65% of people - more than fixing some version in stone.
