------------------------------------
Resolution: Information Provided
There are a number of blocking items outlined in FLINK-15736 that first need to
be resolved. As the moment there is no timeline for when Java 17 support will
be finalized, and afaik no one is looking into these issues at the moment.

> We're looking for an update on this issue:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-15736
>
> Java 11 is a very old LTS version and is missing vital features from Java 14
> and Java 17. A production deployment should support Java 17.
> In general, I would expect compatibility for new language versions within 6
> months of their release. Being pinned to old versions has significant
> cascading impact on technical infrastructure.
