We don't know that Java 27 will drop support for Java 8 yet though, so can we continue to set the bytecode option for Java 8 for the Context sourceset until it changes?

Oh, just saw this comment. It isn't an LTS release, so I doubt it really matters; we're not going to be using it for release builds. And for testing it isn't much of a problem given how few changes are going into Context.

But if we consider the Java 7 removal and how much people are still using Java 8, I do expect we'll see support continue for a while still. So removing it avoids bumping the number every six months.

Sounds good. Was trying to keep existing structure.
