From my understanding from reading that change it seems that:

* Fedora wants to only ship the latest LTS OpenJDK instead of shipping
several versions
* If the user wants a specific Java version they should instead
download from some third-party provider such as Adoptium's Temurin

However:

* IIRC there were some backward compatibility issues with Java in the
Java 6/7/8 era, but nowadays I guess that is not as much of a concern,
so no reason to not run latest LTS
* Even if the older LTS OpenJDKs are removed, the change itself
mentions a `adoptium-temurin-java-repository` package so you can
install the Temurin versions if you really need Java 11

All in all, the most concern would be that it says they aren't
updating that specific package, moving to the latest LTS or Temurin is
the correct solution.

The change also mentions the Minecraft concern. I personally am not
sure why running with latest LTS wouldn't work except maybe for older
versions?
