Does is it mean that next releases is 7u40, 7u60, 7u80?
Yes - 7u40 would be the next OpenJDK 7u release.
What happens after 7u80?
7u100 would follow. Do you see any problems with that ? regards, Sean.

Here at Oracle we've been very busy accelerating the development and release of security fixes and new security features to address issues with Java in web browsers. With the recent JDK 7u21 security release [1], we need to examine the impact on the schedule [2] for the next JDK 7 Updates release. For past releases developed within this Project, like 7u4, our approach to schedule them has been to put them a few months apart from Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Updates [3] in order to minimize the number of concurrent code lines, and the related synchronization and administrative efforts. Looking at the the next scheduled dates for Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Updates [3], the next opportunity that fits that description is in August. Therefore, I would like to open the following proposal for discussion: * The next release of this Project will be in August * Stabilization forests for that release will not be created this month Meanwhile, please continue to deliver fixes to jdk7u-dev. In addition, as announced earlier [4], we need to adjust the version numbers of future releases. In order to avoid going through the effort of renumbering releases again at some point in the future, which involves adjustments to bug database records, Mercurial repositories, and a number of other administrative tasks, I'd like to open the following proposal for discussion: * The next release of this Project will be called 7u40 * Starting with the next release, JDK 7 Update release numbers will be multiples of 20, in order to leave ample room for other kinds of releases should the need arise. Both proposals are open for discussion for one week until Thursday, April 25th. Regards, Sean.
