Who still uses Java 8 in production? That is a serious risk. I thought everyone moved to 11 already.

I use Java 15 in production in 3 projects.

I am pretty sure Red Hat, IBM, and probably other enterprisey type companies backport security patches for Java 8.

Tons of folks in financial IT are on 8 - it is pretty stable and very common target for most of the libraries being used.
