Hi all,
can I have reviews for this change that removes the gc/ergonomics/TestMinHeapSize.java test?
We found that it is unstable, and with reasonable effort very likely can't be made to work: we have no idea how much (C heap) memory the rest of the VM will use, or will in the future, so there will likely always be a constant need to update it. Even during review there have already some adaptations to make it work, until it "worked", but then it intermittently started failing in CI anyway.
Testing: this is a trivial removal of a complete test/file.
Thanks,
Thomas
