But this is only Java 8, right? Or am I misreading?

It would be really stupid of them to do it for the whole of java. But i have seen more ridiculous decisions by corporations

Yup. Oracle is trying to push everyone to their rapid releases of java 10, and 11.

Isn't 11 a LTS again?

Personally, I've been transitioning my stuff to OpenJDK (probably should have a long time ago).
