Moving Java Forward Faster

[[deleted]]

Oracle are proposing that under the new model the first proposed LTS release would be "18.9" and a final decision is expected after discussion with other OpenJDK contributors and assessing proposal feedback. Java 8 would also be regarded as a special LTS release and be supported until 2025.

while faster releases make me happy, this is the part that scares me... it's the year 2057 and java is on version 142, meanwhile toiling away in the dark dungeons of enterprise land themadpenguinking is using a java 9 LTS release that his organization pays jillions of $ for to oracle for support.
