That looks good as it is; or here's a relatively futureproofed variant
that might work better in November:
process. The plan is for <literal>OpenJDK 17</literal> to
receive an update in bullseye to the final upstream release
announced for October 2021, followed by security updates on
a best effort basis, but users should not expect to see
updates for every quarterly upstream security update.
