> All OpenJDK versions are created equal

Not really. If they were then jdk12u would not be [READ-ONLY] and jdk11u still open here https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk-updates

After two patches led by Oracle, there's a call for volunteers to see if anyone is interested in continuing an Updates Project. But the original version itself is not written with that intent (nor is it known in advance whether anyone will step up). You will find no mention of 11 being in itself special in any way here, https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk/11/ and anyone can start an Updates Project for any version.
