I know they are different things but will they really have completely
independent release milestones?

I'd expect openjdk to be the base for the oracle release, so that openjdk
tags a minor update, and then oracle merges with whatever prorpietary stuff
they add to their jdk on top of the openjdk tag, let oracle QA do their
thing and then release it as a oracle branded jdk minor update.

At least I'd expect that for the normal case for planned jdk updates. Of
course security issues may force oracle to introduce extra releases that
have not been synchronized with the openjdk ones.

Is this not what happens?
