3 days ago the EA tag moved from version 23 to 24, noting that JDK 23 is not actually released until Sept 17th - approx 2 months away.

This means that from now until Sept 17 any project building using the EA tag is not actually validating the next JDK to be released which is JDK 23 and still 2 months away (as builds using EA are instead now building against 24-EA).

Q: Is this 2 month gap / window in terms of EA build validating the next released version an issue?

Q: Was the EA tag moved too early to 24-EA meaning that project builds against EA are not actually validating against JDK 23 for the next 2 months until the next release?

Q: Should there be another version tag that is like EA but would not actually change until the actual release date?
