All, There have been several discussions on slack [1], [2] to support 3.11 beyond the date stated on the web [3] which is May-July 23 and given it's April that's an unlikely date.
Given that there are still a sizable number of users on 3.11 in [2] we talked about a CVE only support for some time. When we discussed that internally at Azure we entertained supporting until Java 8 is EOL but with that now being 12/31/2030 [4] we quickly gave up on that and are now thinking a shorter time. So we will support anyway but I would like to start a broader discussion if we, the community, are interested in at a minimum CVE only support, maybe bug fixes as well, after 5.0 is released for 3.11 and if so for how long - something like a Cassandra LTS policy.
