  ... which they most probably will shut down next year. Remember Open Solaris? ...

    OpenSolaris does still exist, it was forked and continues under the OpenIndiana name now. I think Oracle's major claim over the project was the use of the 'Solaris' name for copyright reasons. I hope that three letters would be a lot harder to assert copyright over, but I'm not holding my breath.

  Who is fixing security bugs in old openjdk releases?

    OpenBSD uses OpenJDK8 in -stable.

      And OpenBSD has large numbers of skilled VM engineers sitting around doing nothing? OpenJDK is Oracle. They're the same people. If Oracle stop releasing bug fixes to the open source project OpenBSD isn't going to step up and suddenly start doing backports all themselves.
