True enough, but AFAIK its still supported, alongside 11 and 14, for 
Fedora Linux. I recently saw stats (in The Register) showing the majority 
of developers are still using 8, and #242 is the most recent Java 8 
release.

If its just as easy to move from Java 8 to 11 or 14 as it still is to 
compile a K&R source file under that latest ANSI C compiler, then I'm 
happy to move on, but is it that easy? Somehow I've gotten the impression 
that it may not be.
