There are two things to consider. Firstly, we could, and actually in my opinion should, drop all the convenience installers and just provide the binary zip. Installers that rely on system JDKs are likely to become more problematic over time, given code signing, sandboxing, permissions and other factors. I think if people want to use a JDK of choice they should use the binary zip. That also means potentially looking to improve the range and availability of community installers, besides or instead of the ones I'm producing I hasten to add! That will involve continuing discussions somewhat independent of the project itself.
I agree on this one. Even if I considered having packages from the single source of truth as value.
Holding to that simply getting too much burden on maintenance on the other hand could be restrictive also could be inconvenient for our users as well.
I would like to drop the Apache NetBeans Provided Snap packages as well, move that to community. Apache restrictions, while being reasonable, eventually hurt end-user experience.
