Comment 37 for bug 2036873

> Does that mean we should remove the unsupported versions?

Just to re-iterate one of Andreas' questions that I don't think has been answered yet: if this is accepted, jammy will have openjdk versions 8, 11 (LTS), 17 (LTS), 18, 19, 20, and 21. I note that 18 will be dropped on mantic (though not 19?). Should we be considering removal of (at least) 18 from earlier releases too, or is removal from an active release too disruptive?

The policy (kindly linked by Andreas above) states "At most two OpenJDK short term support versions" in an Ubuntu LTS release. Should we be considering revising that policy? As a follow-up to that: 18 and 19 didn't make it back to focal -- why should 20 and 21, given the SRU policy also states "A new OpenJDK short term support version has to be upload[ed] to [...] *the most recent* Ubuntu LTS release" (emphasis added)? Or in other words, we seem to be at least bending policy here; if there's a good reason for us to be doing so, should we be revising the policy?
