loss of cause??

[Richard Warburton]

Hi,

We chose to not add the GC cause to all gc log records since we felt that

> call and System.gc() was the only gc cause which was logged.

Thanks for explaining the decision.  Does this mean that every (most)
PrintGCDetails related GC Log record type will change by default in Java 8
in order to print the cause?

regards,
