I don't see a problem with that. u65 is the security fix version and u66 is
a bugfix that includes u65. The openjdk project appears to have skipped
straight to u66 since both were released simultaneously.

>From Oracle's website: "Java SE 8u65 includes important security fixes.
Oracle strongly recommends that all Java SE 8 users upgrade to this
release. Java SE 8u66 is a patch-set update, including all of 8u65 plus
additional features (described in the release notes)."

The openjdk website lists u66 as released.
