I mean, we cannot test with Java 25 yet, so I set the JDK to 21, unrelated to the line tested.

Time to revisit now since the next LTS 2.555.1 will require Java 21?

I don't think we should drop Java 17 on the 2.528.x or 2.541.x lines. We've detected serious problems in the past because we were still running Java 17 on those lines.
