It seems my earlier question might have been overlooked. Could we clarify
if JDK 8 support is being dropped in the next version? The proposal
indicated for Iceberg 2.0 release, but it's unclear if that's our next
version. Given that I'm working on Spark 4.0 support
<https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/10622>, which only runs on Java 17
and 21, dropping JDK 8 in the next release could help us maintain
consistency with Spark's Java requirements.

Thanks 🙂
