`11.0.9.1` was done in order to alleviate a potential JVM crash:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8250861

In hindsight it probably wasn't necessary to do a patch release. Either way, it's a very different kind of bug than this one. https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8218546?focusedCommentId=14243081&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-14243081 suggests it's a peculiarity of Google servers.

I'm not convinced this warrants a patch update. `11.0.15` should be fine, IMO.
