OpenJDK Patching Process

[Rob McKenna]

Apologies Ken, this appeared to get trapped by the mail filter. (and
wasn't released the last time I did this for some reason)

I'm hoping the release model is clearer at this point, but for
completeness sake: yes, an upgrade to 11 would have been required as
10.0.2 was the final release for JDK 10. (and 10.0.2 GA'd in July 2018)

With 6 month OpenJDK releases now happening, for what duration will the n-1 version of OpenJDK be patched once the n version is released for GA?  For example, OpenJDK 11 is GA September 25, 2018.  If a security issue is recognized on OpenJDK 10 in October 2018, will a critical patch be created for OpenJDK 10 to address, or will upgrade to Open JDK 11 be required in order to receive the critical update.
