Right now, I plan on doing milestone releases until we are OK with the API. I plan on the next release being 2.0.0-M2 and requiring Java 11, as we have now in git master. The majority of opinions in this thread has been for Java 17, so I'd like to go with Java 17 for 2.0.0-M3 and see how that goes, but we're not there yet ;-)
