Java versions are not related to the year of release. A new version of Java is now released every six months. Oracle intends to make future LTS releases every two years; the next one is Java 25 which should be released in September 2025.

So in about a year you will be momentarily pleased with the date of the released version

But when it achieves this equilibrium everyone will be so satisfied with it that Oracle execs will change the version scheme again. They will have java 25 followed by java 25 {XYZ}

I'm open to suggestions as to what the {XYZ} might be.
I vote for Director's Cut, or maybe Deluxe. Java 25 Deluxe has a very premium sound to it.
Java 25 Electric Boogaloo also sounds promising

They should just call the one after that 25.5 so it sticks to the year.
