Also, I realise the other thing that needs to be considered there if
we're going to do this .. 12.6 is the first release to drop all uses
of JDK 8 for release builds, etc.? We should probably make sure we're
ready for this on the infrastructure side while we can still fall back
to JDK 8 in an emergency?!
it has to be tested on 8, otherwise it will become incompatible fast. My
understanding was that the minimum build JDK would be bumped to 11, so
that selected 11-only modules can be built, but the requirement to run
on 8 is *still* there.
it might be easier to invert the whole situation and keep building with
8, but only build/test the selected 11-only modules on 11+ nodes, until
NB is *actually* able to drop support for 8.
