I don’t know what Temurin even is.

While I do recommend that people switch to default-jdk, and in fact
we have been needing to use at least 11 in development for a while
because Maven plugins from Central didn’t work with 8 for some time
even when intended to, some customers still run prod on 8, so we
need it for testing. (Or, at least, used to; I’m currently not in
a Java project at work.) I also have been supplying a customer with
openjdk-8 as jessie backport before it was in backports itself, then
ELTS. (The mentioned customer is also no longer in a situation to
receive/need these, but this gives historical context.)

I just did not cease updating this.

bye,
