Note that Oracle has nothing to do with these releases or builds. Red Hat is now the maintainer of OpenJDK 8u and 11u release families. But this isn’t Red Hat’s fault either. By default, the OpenJDK builds put something obvious like “-internal” into the version string, and you have to override it explicitly if you are intending to produce an official build. Whoever made these builds overrode the version string to make them look like official releases, when in fact they don’t correspond to official release tags in the source. In other cases there may have been a delay between the appearance of an official binary and the appearance of the release tag in the source tree, but that’s not the issue here.
