I've uploaded some updates prepared by Vladimir and Pushkar today and 
yesterday. Kudos for the outstanding work, the patches cover most of the 
remaining Java 21 issues, are well documented and were forwarded upstream.

There are 17 patches left to apply [1], most of them are for minor 
packages or packages not maintained by the Java Team. The most important 
ones are kotlin and lombok in my opinion. Once they are fixed I think we 
can switch the default JDK to OpenJDK 21.

After the transition I'd suggest keeping the openjdk-17 package in 
unstable only, that may be useful for upgrading Gradle and Kotlin.
