“Red Hat is taking over maintenance responsibilities for OpenJDK 8 and OpenJDK 11 from Oracle,” reports InfoWorld:
Red Hat will now oversee bug fixes and security patches for the two older releases, which serve as the basis for two long-term support releases of Java. Red Hat’s updates will feed into releases of Java from Oracle, Red Hat, and other providers… Previously, Red Hat led the OpenJDK 6 and OpenJDK 7 projects. Red Hat is not taking over OpenJDK 9 or OpenJDK 10, which were short-term releases with a six-month support window.
