To add comments to JBS, you have to have a role the OpenJDK Census [7].

Rajat is working on a fix, the fallback behaviour will be the same as it 
was before JDK-8294427. Once a PR is open, you'll be able to take the 
code changes for testing, however, you'll need to build JDK yourself. 
The PR will be announced with a message to the 
client-libs-dev at openjdk.org mailing list, as usual. If you're subscribed 
to the mailing list, you'll get the message in your inbox, 
alternatively, you can view the archives [8].
