Alas, I have to cancel this vote as well. The Spark and Hadoop communities are asking me to extend the Java versions to Java 25. There is a hacky way to do this, but I want to implement it correctly, including proper documentation and expanding the range of CI testing. I hope to be back in a few days with an RC3.
