Since Java 12 isn’t an LTS, isn’t the effective delay for slipping a release just 6 months? Many shops are going to use 8, 11 and 17 (assuming it’s the next LTS), so it won’t even matter to them.
If that’s right, it’s exactly how the new release cadence is supposed to work—there’s no longer such a hard decision between delaying the release, leaving a feature to languish for several years, or releasing a feature without time to validate it.
