Now that Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic" is EOL'd, is backporting utopic's openjdk8 a good idea? Isn't it better to have Ubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf"'s OpenJDK 8u66-b01-4 backported? See the latest openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8 . Or better, since the next LTS (Ubuntu 16.04LTS) is just 6 months away, why not backport from it?
