Announcing Java updates of Jul 2023 for 8, 11, 17, and 20: resources and thoughts

It's that time again: there are new JVM updates released today (Jul 18, 2023) for the current long-term support (LTS) releases of Oracle Java, 8, 11, and 17, as well as the current interim update 20.

TLDR: The new updates are 1.8.0_381 (aka 8u381), 11.0.20, 17.0.8, and 20.0.2 respectively).
