JDK 10 has been deprecated since October and is now recalled. There is zero support for it, as for each non-LTS Java release after 4 months of its appearance. JDK 8 and 11 are LTS releases.

BTW, security updates are released quarterly.

    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.
