BTW, Oracle contributes ~90% and Red Hat ~5%.

Either way that has little significance here. It is not the most popular version of Java in use today (that would be 8u2XX) nor is it any more production-ready or stable than 12. You can say that we're interested in results for the current version of Java or in the most popular one. I don't understand why it would be particularly interesting to discuss JDK 11, which is neither.
- kjeetgill 7y agoI'm really not sure where your confusion is coming from. The post itself is interesting on two fronts: as a new emerging technology but also as a leverageable tool. As an OpenJDK developer I understand your interests are more about the former. For many of us are using Oracle or RedHat LTS builds, we are running either 8 or 11 for "reasons". It's pretty natural to know if these new changes to the platform apply to a given version without asking.
