It is a policy of the Oracle JDK implementation but has nothing to do with Java itself. The OpenJDK implementation of Java does not use anything like LTS, there will only be the latest version which is a new one every six month (since OpenJDK 9). Since the Oracle JDK is not in the official Arch Linux repos but only the OpenJDK there is no need to talk about LTS on this mailing list at all. Regards, Olli
