I can provide the implementation for generating this, but I need to understand what the expected pattern is. From what I can see, it looks like $(sequence N, M) where N is the last LTS+1 and M is current JDK version. Then the string has "JDK N" in it. M is already well defined, so the only new input here is N, which we could move to the version numbers config file (make/conf/version-numbers.conf). Something like DEFAULT_VERSION_DOCS_API_SINCE=11. There is some additional boilerplate needed, and the sequence macro of course, but does this sound reasonable to you?

Thanks for the help and for providing all the pieces, Erik! I just added a new commit and I think I got everything working.
