I like the idea of your change.
The JAVA_VERSION=latest seems a nice new feature to me.

What I don’t understand, how is JAVA_VERSION=default different from not setting
JAVA_VERSION at all?

And do you have an example of “preferring ancient versions and ignoring value
set in bsd.default-versions.mk”? I saw a port with JAVA_VERSION=17+ correctly
choosing openjdk21 now 21 is the default.
