I'm looking at the SRU policy for openjdk-N updates: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenJDK-Updates

It says:
"At most two OpenJDK short term support versions can be found in an Ubuntu LTS release."

Looking at jammy, there we seem to have versions 11 and 17 which are LTS releases, but also 8, 18 and 19. And now you want to introduce 21 for jammy. What happens to 8, 18 and 19? The policy also says:

"We want to ship the short term support OpenJDK version to get those exposed to users and developers, but want to drop them again when they become unsupported. "

Does that mean we should remove the unsupported versions?
