As Java 17 - the next LTS - is available, it would be a good time to deprecate support for Java 8 (7,5 years after its initial release).
There are no immediate plans to change the minimal required Java version to 11, but most likely the CI will only test project with Java 11 and 17, and it will be released using Java 11 (with source level set still to 8, for the time being). Therefore, the binary compatibility with Java 11 will not be strictly enforced (in the phase one).
Feel free to comment here, if you have some strong arguments against that idea.
