Research direction

Review the unchecked packages in the migration checklist, starting with davmail, freeplane, and icedtea-web. Read the linked freeplane pull request 9376 and upstream IcedTea-Web pull request 994, then inspect the package definitions to identify remaining OpenJDK 21 dependencies. Done means the remaining eligible packages build and use OpenJDK 25 without retaining an unnecessary OpenJDK 21 dependency.
