Comment (by breun):

 > As a meta ports, this seemed to allow other ports to just depend on
 "openjdk11" or "openjdk17", while the user could choose which actual
 implementation to install, such as "openjdk17-temurin".

 I don't think the user could actually choose which implementation to use,
 although that would be nice. Before `openjdk11` and `openjdk17` would just
 install a particular OpenJDK distribution (Eclipse Temurin on x86_64, Azul
 Zulu on arm64).
