Of course, I could just be grossly misunderstanding what is/was JEP 306 and/or to which depth it meant by "restore always-strict floating-point semantics", but I don't think that I am the only one out there.

JEP 306 isn't about j.l.StrictMath. The Description section of 306
says what it's really about.
