[External] : Re: Wayland

[Kevin Rushforth]

Your math is a bit off: it's 2 years from now, not 7. We recently bumped 
the minimum for JavaFX 23 to JDK 21. Two years from now, we will bump 
the minimum for JavaFX 27 to JDK 25.

We might consider bumping it even earlier to a non-LTS, as an exception 
to our general practice, specifically to enable Panama, given the need 
to get away from sun.misc.Unsafe (used by Marlin), so there is a 
possibility that it could be less than 2 years. That will require a some 
discussion.
