Pre-AdoptOpenJDK, there were JRE variants as part of this project. I now only see JDK variants available. Is there a reason for this change? I perused the GitHub issues for this project but did not find a reference for the loss of JRE options.

For example, I see tomcat:8.5-jdk8 but no tomcat:8.5-jre8.

Edit:

To clarify tomcat:8.5-jre8 exists, but it is no longer listed and is running an older version of Tomcat 8.5.47 versus 8.5.41 so it is presumably no longer maintained.

I've personally looked at tomcat, and the practical implications there are going to be that we switch from being only JRE variants to being only JDK variants (since we need the JDK to compile Tomcat Native and it wasn't worth doing the legwork to make that work just for OpenJDK 8 JRE, and jlink doesn't work there because tomcat is intended to host arbitrary user code).

And also "no more OpenJDK 11 JRE images..." Excellent. Thank you. That is the reference I need.
