Maybe - Red Hat have been doing more and more serious development lately, and (surprisingly) Microsoft are also stepping up to the table. I'm talking about whole new GCs, compiler changes, etc. Plus there's GraalVM. Graal and OpenJDK are actually totally separate teams inside Oracle, who compete with each other! They have different licensing, versioning etc models too. And they've written an entire JIT compiler from scratch, which other firms are also developing expertise in (Twitter, Spotify). So even if OpenJDK changed a lot, that wouldn't necessarily imply Graal would change too.
