BTW There are some packages, e.g. built by ant with no sauce/target level specified at all, that are built with Java 11-level bytecode.

This is bad because if there is a dependent package that requires Java 8 for some reason it won't work because the bytecode of one your dependencies is too new and cannot be interpreted by Java 8. In these cases

I am fixing such occurrences in the ```f33-java11``` build target as I encounter them -- just something to be aware of in case you see any UnsupportedClassVersionErrors.
