What?!? If I have Java 9, I have to upgrade the day Java 10 is released to be secure? I have to do major (i.e. feature breaking) upgrades to get security updates?
How is this a sane policy, and how many people are going to be running unpatched Java versions?
Either patch it yourself, or pay Oracle for a support license.
Sounds reasonable to me. People who expect free support on an open source product mystify me.
