Description

We started out with Java 25 LTS level of support.

We bumped up to 26 once it released. However, I didn't see any enticing feature to be included on the API surface.

We might fall back to 25 at the end. No code changes required.

Depending on the progress and contents, we could also upgrade to 27 in September, but what it might feature is still to be discovered.

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by clarifying whether RxJava 4.x should target Java 25, 26, or a possible 27 release; done means the target version decision is settled, with no code changes currently required.
