Hi,
I'm not a package maintainer or anything, but it makes sense to me to
drop support in a non-LTS release leading up to 20.04. Since 18.04 is
supported until 2023, this aligns pretty well with dropping support for
a software that is EOL in 2022. It's not always what we want to hear,
but if you require long-term supported software, you should probably
stay on a long-term supported release. I would continue to ping
Launchpad to see if anyone creates a PPA for openjdk-8. If you are so
inclined, you could be the one that maintains it (not something I know
how to do, but maybe you do).

Hi everyone,
I know that I should have checked this a month ago... but upstream Debian
appears to have deleted OpenJDK 8 (with no reason given) and likewise it
appears to have disappeared mostly from Ubuntu 19.04.
I've been looking around on launchpad to try to find out what's going on
but so far without sucess. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
(To head off well meaning comments - OpenJDK 8 is still live and supported
through 2022 or so, and OpenJDK 11 breaks too many things to work as-is as
a dropin substitute).
