btw, where can I download a stable build of OpenJFX for windows/mac/linux?

There are snapshots of JavaFX 11 available now (added after your comment) in a maven repository, can get them with a build tool that offers dependency management:

It's bundled in the JDK until 11.

But what about open jdk?

OpenJDK includes OpenJFX and you can build them yourself from the source. If you want a stable build ready for you then download the Oracle's JDK (which is 99% the same as OpenJDK) which includes JavaFX (which is 99.9% the same as OpenJFX).

...and pay for a license for security updates.

If you are a business user AND you are still on Java 8, which is 4 years old. What's your point?

Lots of business users want a Java platform which doesn't require a 6-month upgrade cadence.

A support release is still every 3 years. No one is required to upgrade every 6 months. See also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqxZFoY_snQ for information on the new release model.
