There is an ongoing discussion about whether to make the next LTS release of Scala target JDK 11 or 17. On the one hand, I think it would be nice to target a newer LTS. However, JDK 11 actually has extended support until January 2032, and JDK 17 only has extended support until September 2029 (JDK 11 has longer extended support planned than even JDK 21, whose extended support is ending in September 2031).
