One by product of the changing landscape around Java 11 release - is a license change for the Oracle JDK.
Currently we have the following in our Production Considerations <http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/production/java.html>: *GeoServer’s speed depends a lot on the chosen Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The latest versions of GeoServer are tested with both Oracle JRE and OpenJDK. Implementations other than those tested may work correctly, but are generally not recommended.* *...* *For best performance we recommend the use Oracle JRE 8 (also known as JRE 1.8).* I think it is time we update our GeoServer release instructions to point towards OpenJDK, and then they can explore other commercial options as they see fit. Does this require a GSIP or can I propose replacement text here on email?
