Hi JB and Chris. My concern about doing so is that it may create false expectations for users and add more burden to the maintainers. On the webpage https://activemq.apache.org/components/classic/download/ , it states that " *Deprecated*: Reached end-of-life and is no longer maintained. Deprecated versions do not receive updates." If we provide an exception for a functional fix , those users on 5.16.x may never migrate because they know an exception is possible. Is there something else (like a blog post on migration) we can do to help those Java 8 community users without releasing updates to 5.16 and 5.17?
