Why is there no kotlinx-coroutines-core other than RC for Kotlin 1.5.0? And why does it depend on kotlin-stdlib-jdk7?

per the graph, it depends on jdk8 and jdk8 depends on jdk7

Ok, maybe not that giving us version conflict then.

But to Marius's first question, what is the recommendation in using kotlin-coroutines-core 1.4.x with Kotlin 1.5.0? This looks like the tracking issue but I don't see any details regarding expected ETA or expected back compat when mixing versions. Any info here would be appriciated.

Looks like our issue is with Kotest not yet having a 1.5 release
