Hi,
In ZGC, the root processor has a mode for supporting treating weaks as
strong. This makes no sense to use for a user as it only introduces
memory leaks. We have supported it anyway because it was a neat
debugging tool while implementing concurrent reference processing. But
now it seems like it is time for this option to retire, as it makes the
root scanning code unnecessarily complicated and bug prone.
