However (unless something unexpected comes form https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8323169) what in next jdks - from jdk23 onwards I would suggest 11 as source target, which will again cover the period of next LTS..and so on.

Unfortunately, right now the most important thing to compare is the difference between JDK 7/8 and the JDK 11+, since there was a big code rework in 11 which caused a few-not-fixed regressions.
