I don't believe Java 7 was LTS, and I hope that others will have upgraded long before that. If that is the release timeframe for 3.0, then I suppose that would makes sense, I would still doubt that people would be going newer than java 11, just my opinion of what I'm seeing.

I guess Ignite 3.0 will be ready for production use somewhere in 2022, realistically. By that time, Java 8 will be long enough out of support so that most companies will actually forbid its use, WRT vulnerabilities et all. After all we have managed to upgrade from Java 7 to Java 8 and only got a minor amount of complaints.
