Jaybird 5 will serve as a "`long-term support`" version for Java 8 and 11, with maintenance releases at least until the release of Jaybird 7.

It is possible future maintenance releases of Jaybird 5 stop expanding Java support to include newly released Java versions.
21+
A reason can be -- but is not limited to -- if adding support for a newer Java version results in breaking support for Java 8 or Java 11, or JDBC 4.2 or JDBC 4.3, or require changes that would limit testability on those versions.

We may also simply stop expanding Java support to limit the number of versions we need to test.
