...From newer versions. Old JDK versions have been kept the same, and Java 7 & 8 are still in heavy use.

Not everyone needs enterprise support.

Run it without security patches? That's suicidal for a system like JWS. Or do you think there's some option that is still support but not specifically enterprise and doesn't cost anything? I would take a look at who historically contributes security patches to OpenJDK and think about if you free vendor really has the expertise you think they do to keep up with security attacks.

- chrisseaton 6y ago> Amazon backports security updates to Amazon Corretto There's a flaw in your logic there... JWS is gone in new versions, so there aren't any security updates for it in the newer versions either. You can't backport a patch which hasn't been written.
