I think that there is likely to be a fair amount of push-back against
this one.  I understand that the GC team has to be responsible for
this decision, given that they have to support it.  But there has to
be at least a possibility that OpenJDK support for CMS might not be
ended, and Oracle is not necessarily the only company involved in
this.
