Problems acquiring an OpenJDK TCK license?

[Mike Milinkovich]

At the risk of picking a barely-healed scab, isn't TCK licensing outside of
the scope of OpenJDK governance?

I understand how --- if you are so inclined --- you can start pulling at the
threads to the point where every issue related to Java can be conflated with
OpenJDK governance. But I don't see how that is going to be a particularly
useful or constructive exercise.
