I agree with what you say about language evolution, but this proposal isn't just about the language—it’s also about APIs, tools, and implementation-specific features (e.g., JITs and GCs), which can evolve more flexibly than the language itself.

No, JVM enhancements will not be limited to LTS. If anything it's best to merge them long before an LTS, so that they're well-baked in the LTS itself.
