The quoted text seems to be from a mail that Magnus Ihse Bursie sent to 
the discuss list in 2020 [1]. It's the same date that JDK-8242934 [1] 
was created so it may be that the mail was (at least partly) prompted by 
the need to change the test  for`jfr print --json`. The test for that 
feature used to use Nashorn and had to be changed to use a JSON parser 
in the test suite. The JSON parser was subsequently moved to 
test/lib/jdk/test/lib/json/JSONValue.java so it could be used by other 
tests.
