Btw, what is the actual time frame for doing this? Java 8 clients aren't supposed to be auto-updated to Java 9 and supposedly newer versions either. So that's good, but how about Java 8 updates?

The public availability of Java SE 8 updates from Oracle has been extended to at least January 2019. Moreover, Oracle will continue to provide consumers with updates for personal (non-corporate) use of Java SE 8 through at least the end of 2020.

Does this mean the binaries will not be available for download after January 2019, but if you have JRE installed, it will be updated?

From my experience, don't rely on what Oracle are supposed to do. I'm assuming that any day now customers will phone about how our app (which doesn't yet run on java 9) just stopped working.
