Java 8u40 is a feature release that's been planned for almost a year,

My observation in the past was that Java updates came with the rest
of the "quarterly CPU" cycle. Was that wrong, has something changed?
There are Java updates associated with security fixes on the quarterly

active development after all, and releases new features too, not just
security patches.
