Speaking for myself personally:
I'd like to step in the discussion, as I see the rapid movement between
JDK versions that is even increasing with increased frequency of JDK
releases (with only limited features that make a real difference for NB
development) as dangerous - but I still lag behind as I am trying to
read the whole thread.
In my current state of mind / evaluation of the issue I'd give -0.5 to
JDK8 drop and -infinity to JDK11 drop next year. I'll try to catch up
with the conversation during till next week - the stated position needs
more elaborate explanation, but I don't want to repeat others (too
much). Thanks.

That is what I suggested in the other thread (I don't see why we need
multiple threads incidentally!)
An LTS-1 strategy seems closest to how NetBeans used to function -
major-1, in a time when it also had more development resources?
Let's also be clear, though, that adopting an LTS-1 strategy means
dropping JDK 11 support either in our first release after JDK 21, or
the first after JDK 22 - so latest May 2024.
why would we do that? I said _runnable_ and _buildable_. As long as the
current JDK support the target release I did not exclude that.
In which case I don't understand what you mean by committing to make NetBeans
buildable and runnable on LTS-1? That to me means dropping the commitment to
JDK 11 when it becomes LTS-2.
I'd still really like to see us make some movement here before the
next release freeze in a month.
I'd still like to understand whether we're saying the same or
different things about adopting an LTS-1 strategy here?
Thanks,
Neil
