That's bad. 8 hasn't been getting the essential security updates since march 2022. Of course money can buy a lot, but it's still a bad idea. Even the Dutch govern.e t has mostly made the transition and they are no known for their elasticity

8 hasn’t been getting the essential security updates since march 2022.

That's not really true despite what Oracle claims. Even without dropping money for Oracle's 2030 support, there's been 9 releases to OpenJDK 8 so far in 2024. Amazon has guaranteed OpenJDK 8 LTS through 2026 as "corretto" for justifying it to corporate compliance teams.

Everyone really should upgrade but it's going to be several years yet before it's an actual security risk.
