Which discussion you are referring to?

Who are the parties to that consensus?

I am not trying to be hard here, but this PR really surprised me. The long-standing way of doing policy changes in OpenJDK is to discuss things first (in the open!), and then do PRs. I would have expected to read up on the discussion about the relevance of that comment somewhere public, e.g. in bug report.
