Why new Java 8 images published by OpenJDK are no longer Alpine based but Debian 10(Buster) based?

[Duke4848]

I am browsing newest images published by OpenJDK: https://hub.docker.com/layers/openjdk/library/openjdk/8u252-jre-slim-buster/images/sha256-01dfdeac537b9d9adcb2399028fba063733a77186c5264e6b059987002c0e48c?context=explore all of them switchedt

all of the new Java 8 images are using Debian based, is there any official statement that OpenJDK moved from Alpine towards Debian and why? I have nothing against it, I'd like to understand,

OpenJDK 8 on Alpine isn't officially supported by the OpenJDK project #211 (comment), #212 (comment), #235 (comment)

#272

Also, openjdk:8 Linux tags that did not have alpine in the name have always been Debian based. Alpine based images have only been an explicit opt-in.
