Is there a possibility of the string equality operator (==) being fixed?

In fact, the discuss list is not appropriate for this type of question.
Per the list’s description [1]:

  This list is for general discussion about the OpenJDK Community,
  including proposals of new Projects and Groups.

  This is not a place to discuss specific technical proposals. For that,
  please use an appropriate area-specific mailing list.

  This is not a place to ask support questions. Please direct those to
  whoever provided your JDK build.

The OpenJDK Developers’ Guide includes a list of area-specific mailing
lists [2], but there isn’t a list specifically for the Java programming
language.  Given that the charter of Project Amber [3] is to “explore
and incubate smaller, productivity-oriented Java language features,”
the original poster’s choice of amber-dev was reasonable.
