Anyone ? I'd like to get this backported to 8u this week so it
can the 8u122 release which will enter RDP2 soon

http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk8u/releases/8u122.html

Although I have failed to find any email documenting the exact date
the freeze is usually a week earlier than the RDP date so it could
be as early as a week from now ..
