Yes, but your examples and experiences are not related to a lib bundled or not, but it is about the effort a maintainer puts in their package. We had also (unbundled) libs, which were outdated and we had to wait a long time until a vulnerability was fixed. And given the high quality of our openjdk packages and given experiences of the last nearly 2 decades with the regularity of updates, I’m sure we get an openjdk update as soon as an issue with one of the bundled libs arises. And as an afterthought: Sorry for the wording. I was (and I am) seriously annoyed by this thread (and some others of that kind). We have had such excellent Java JDKs for years and right now in the last 4 major JDK versions in parallel, that is just great! It is allowing any developer to test their software in a comprehensive and enterprise ready manner. This deserves unrestricted respect and not this nagging about problems that are claimed but do not exist. If someone is not so well versed in Java universe, no problem. Everyone is welcome to ask questions, but not to throw any wild assertions into the room.
