Skip it and go straight to Java 21?

 Java 17 should be pretty far in development, so I am confident
that we will get it.
 Java 21 may come later. Or they may skip 21 and the next
for VMS will be 25. Who knows. I think as a principle
they should release all LTS versions for VMS.

An EAK for Java17 has just been provided to OpenVMS Ambassadors. That implies that general release might be relatively soon.  Or not, depending on how the beta (alpha) testing goes.
