when can we apply UpgradeToJava21? Do we need v17 support for longer time? gradle using checkstyle and they still on 8 so its quite a large range.

We are not yet ready for jdk21 syntax. We can start using new syntax after https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/pull/17669 is merged , January 2026 .
