status of jdk-17 as an LTS release?

[Dalibor Topic]

Hi Matthias,

Planning for JDK 17 has just started a few weeks ago on 
https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk/17/

I assume that many distributors of OpenJDK builds expect JDK 17 to 
become an LTS release for them, but I wouldn't expect to see it on 
official support roadmaps until it's (close to being) released.

cheers,
