Unless someone proposed such changes for inclusion, they would not be 
included in a future CPU release.

That's hard to tell with full certainty the closer a Project gets to a 
point where it reaches the end of the road under a given Project Lead.

At some point in time Oracle will stop contributing to this Project, and 
a new Project Lead, assuming there is one, might chose to include all 
such unreleased changes, a subset of them, or to do something entirely 
different.

On the other hand, the reasoning behind changes to 8u122 plans might end 
up holding for 8u152 as well - i.e., the tentative plans for that 
release might change, as well.

It's too soon to really be able to tell, in other words.

Per the Project's web site, there are no plans at this time for an 
OpenJDK 8u132 or an OpenJDK 8u142 release.
