I disagree with this change.

We've never backported a Java version removal. We've never removed support for a Java version from the LTS release without first allowing multiple weeks for it to be removed in the weekly release. There are too many things that can go wrong and too many things that need to be identified and adjusted.

I've submitted a pull request that switches this to the pattern we've used in the past where we first remove a Java version in a weekly, then we remove that Java version in the next LTS baseline after the weekly.

The pull request is:
