Description

Extracted from https://github.com/vaadin/flow/issues/14783

Is there a timeline for official Vaadin 8 Jakarta Support for extended Maintenance?

Looking at the comment in 8.18.0's release notes, currently it looks kinda un-official by using MPR.

This is only needed for MPR 24+, and is NOT guaranteed to work as generic Jakarta support (even though it does so at the moment) as we may add MPR specific functionality or even hard MPR dependencies in the future.
