Depth first object copying for all GC?

Hi All,
  As a newbie in GC, I found some discussion on object copying order in following slides: breadth vs. depth.
It mentioned that "Any static policy will hurt some applications and help others". After searching, there is a BZ shows
the object copying order has been switched from breadth to depth for ParallelGC in OpenJDK, please correct if I am wrong.
Anyone can help to confirm if all GC in OpenJDK use depth first copying now?
Is there any performance consideration to choose depth first instead of controlling by option?
