This is silly. So we need to support Java 8 in the future (not yet happened) Maven 4 releases due:
A) hobbyist (personal/individual users or for non-production, development/testing purposes) OR B) commercial entities paying for licenses (commercial/business use of those public releases in production is restricted and requires a commercial license) Which one, A or B? For me, cas A hobbyists will happily use the latest Java LTS. And in case B support DID end in a sense Guillaume meant it.
