In addition to deprecation and removal, this JEP also proposes an interim step of degradation prior to removal.

At the fastest pace possible removal is more than a year away, though it will likely be longer than that. > > Is there an OpenJDK community project group that maintains older Java > versions I can join? > Yes, that would be the Updates Project. — Ron
