Out of curiosity: With Oracle Solaris officially being supported until at
least 2034, does that mean the SPARC port of OpenJDK-11 will be maintained
until 2034 as well?

So far I don't understand the reasoning behind deprecating Solaris SPARC when
the platform has still official support until 2034. The last SPARC CPU was
the M8 which was released 2017.

Thanks,
Adrian
