Description

Investigate is it possible to exclude obviously obsolete versions of Java.

For example: When someone says "builds on Java 8", the obviously obsolete releases like Java 8u6 should be still banned.

Natutally, strings changed between Java versions, so when someone says "Java 17" (current version is 17.0.7), we may want to exclude 17.0.1 or so?
