That seems unwarranted... they’re security / os syscall patches, and they don’t blur the lines between the JDK versions.

Even the article seems a little more FUDdy. As much as I dislike / don’t care for oracle, their JDK versioning approach reasonable. Commercial licensing for the special JDK, expensive support for the old versions, and open support for current openJDK version.

I don’t think even Go or Rails support major version minus 1 or 2.
