@ChrisHegarty My 2¢—this change could impact existing classes which have extended LTQ and knowingly, or unknowingly, presume that add and put delegate to offer, which would (silently) break those classes when running on a newer JDK (presuming this change gets merged).

I think the change is in principle correct, with that said, I want to make sure that the change is worth the potential compatibility risk (if any).
