"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" :)
Having a separate version label is 15 minutes setup deal, while merging Shenandoah 8u (development)
and AArch64-Shenandoah 8u (integration) forests is something that requires much, much more
discussion, work, and workflow changes. I'd prefer to have the list of missing backports in
aarch64-shenandoah earlier rather than much later. Your call if you would rather wait for repository
reshuffles.
