Man, I hope the migration to Java 11 that my infrastructure team started 18 months ago is going okay.

Can't read whether this is sarcastic or tongue in cheek ;-)

Java 11 is the newest LTS release. The next LTS release will be Java 17. Many companies won't touch anything that isn't LTS. There are still a large number of companies staying on Java 8 :shrug:

LTS doesn't exist within OpenJDK. LTS only exists if you're paying a specific provider for it.

LTS is more than support, it provides mental stability that you don't have to update every 6 months.

Then what does AdoptOpenJDK mean when they label 11 a LTS release? https://adoptopenjdk.net/index.html
