Reasons why I think we should support Java 17 in Jenkins 2.541.1: * We have consistently provided at least one transition LTS release that serves as a bridge version supporting 3 Java releases * We have never backported a Java removal because we want it to be well used in weekly releases before we change it for LTS users * Our administrative monitor says that we'll drop support on or after March 31, 2026 * Enterprise users will be surprised that our administrative monitor said that we would drop support for Java 17 on or after March 31, 2026, yet now we're dropping support for Java 17 in January 2026
