Nobody likes 9, 9 is dead.  I have an API that was made for 8, tried compiling in 9, got nothing but headaches.  A couple months ago when I heard about 8 officially dying (as no more new 'free for commercial use' versions from the Oracle site) I decided we ought to test 11 (the latest LTS version) and it went pretty smooth.

The new Java map, every 3rd version is supposed to be LTS?  Not sure how long we're going to want 11 then, when exactly we'll want or need a newer one.
