Downstream builds [Re: OpenJDK 8u275 Released]

[Gregor Schmid]

Let me start with a big thank you to everyone working on Java and
specifically for the quick turnaround on this bugfix update.

It's been a few days since the release and so far I'm not seeing any
sign of the respective binary releases from Oracle, Adopt, Azul etc.
Given that this is an out-of-order release I wonder whether
binaries are going to be made available at all.

I have to make a decision whether to further hold back the next
release of our own product, go with 8u272 or stay at 8u262. We
specifically need the Zulu FX build, but I'm asking here on the list
because I thought others might be in a similar position and the
question might be of general interest.

Thanks in advance for any input on this.

Best regards,
    Greg
