    Hi Matthias,
    
    I agree.
    
    According to
    https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Build/Supported+Build+Platforms
    we require AIX 7.1 for JDK11 and 7.2 since JDK13.
    
    Early version of these AIX version were affected by the following O_NOFOLLOW issue:
    https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8223701
    
    But the affected Tech Levels have already reached "End of Service Pack Support":
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-support-lifecycle-information
    Only AIX 7.1 TL5 and AIX 7.2 TL2 (and later) are still supported.
    
    Change looks good.
    
    Best regards,
    Martin
