Jakarta EE 9 was updated to remove EJBContext methods which depended on
java.security.Identity.

Is the remaining concern about Java EE 8 implementations running Java 21
and newer? The Java 17 LTS seems to be supported until 2029?

Are our hands tied or would it be possible to move forward on this?

Thanks,
Eirik.
