Yes and I expect others and our downstreams (like fd.io, ONAP) will need
some time to consider this, too.

If we are to do this in Sodium, the hard deadline is that the TSC must
make this part of the requirement to participate before Sodium release
starts -- i.e. at the TSC meeting of March 7th, 2019 at the very latest.
I have opened https://jira.opendaylight.org/browse/TSC-189 to track that
vote.

As promised during our Kernel Projects weekly call on Tuesday, following an internal thread at Red Hat I can hereby state that there is no opposition from our side to going fully Java 11 for Sodium. -- If no other parties have strong objections and we actually go ahead and do do this, then to avoid a "broken world" we should obviously make sure that we actually can successfully build and run and CSIT say at least all managed projects in autorelease on Java 11 .... https://jenkins.opendaylight.org/releng/view/autorelease/job/autorelease-release-neon-mvn35-openjdk11/ verifies that, and after some fixes (thanks Robert, Anil, Stephen, Lori...) is currently stuck in ovsdb due to https://jira.opendaylight.org/browse/OVSDB-476 ...
