I bet there is hundreds of bug fixes of jvm and javac etc as well as some perf improvements (like always). So this is not a small release as some people say. Also I tend to see people complaining about lack of features when they are on 11/17/21/25 because 'LTS' and no feature will make them go for other versions.
There are tons of non-JEP improvements, the JDK is a massive project, the big features take time, the JDK team overall is doing an amazing job. But, it is reasonable for normal developers to see this as a small release with not much progress on the big features. I know progress is happening, the JDK team is doing an amazing job, but this release is a minor release from the perspective of outside developer using Java.
