The "tip and tail" model gives application developers a better experience and helps library developers innovate faster, balancing rapid innovation and long-term stability.
With this model, the "tip" release includes new features and bug fixes, while "tail" releases are focused solely on critical bug fixes.
By using the tip and tail approach, the Java ecosystem can maintain an equilibrium between rapid innovation and the stability needed for long-term development.
The intention behind this proposal is to streamline library development, allowing developers to leverage new Java features without compromising support for older JDKs.
