What...? You must be kidding. Oracle ignores the private consumer market with its patching needs pretty much, and do them slowly only, focussing on business markets and their habits favoring longer patching intervals. Last year was a security hole nightmare for Java. And after two patches, I think not only the majority of these still were present - but new ones were even added.
You could promise to pay me money, and I wouldn't use it anymore.
