It's not for us that this matters, but for downstream users like some Linux distros that require building from sources. We do have such users and it would be a surprise for them. We really don't gain anything by changing the build platform requirement and making it different from the runtime requirement. It's just confusing. At some point in the future we might need to, but this current test jar bump ain't it. When Java 8 usage gets low enough, we can jump to 11, but surveys still show significant usage. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
