I was under the impression that openjdk changes licenses once a new version comes out. That's why the parent comment said "the only downside to openjdk is you have to upgrade every half year", right?

No they said that because builds of the OpenJdk codebase by the OpenJdk team are only supported for 6 months until the next version comes out.

Builds of the OpenJdk codebase by other vendors are supported for other lengths of time.

I don’t think someone can revoke your gpl licensed software you already have.

Check out 17 U.S.C. §203 and §304. I think it's possible to revoke the license after 35 years (at least in the US).
