something to consider, which kind of gathers a few of the opinions that have been discussed, maybe in a different light.
POI is in an odd situation because it is BOTH a consumer of dependencies, and IS also a dependency, since it is a library and not a stand-alone product. as a consumer of dependencies, it should be partial to keeping pace with what it consumes. it would be a big dis-service if POI lagged behind on its dependencies and ended up getting dinged for a CERT or other security issue and not be able to mitigate it due to being incompatible with newer versions of its dependencies. though, on the other side, POI should not be too aggressive since it is consumed by so many other products "out in the wild". i think a java-11 requirement would suffice for now. i do not know if i am eligible (my tacit assumption is no, atm) to offer a +1, but if i could, i would.
