The proposed HSX approach isn't gonna change this at all. It will always
use the latest released HS version in the current LTS JDK. And it does this
exactly because it wants to save the constantly growing effort of
downporting fixes from the latest feature releases to the last supported
LTS version. Withe HSX, downports to the latest supported feature release
(i.e. 14) are unnecessary, because HSX would be updated to the latest
feature release any 6 month anyway.
