I've changed the title of the JEP now. I'm not sure you
think it is better, but it is at least what I had promised
Jon. The new title is:<br>
<br>
"Remove GC Combinations that are not Used Enough to Warrant
Future Support"
<div class="im"><br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
Or perhaps just simply "Retire some GC combinations", and say
what you are saying above but not in the title.<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
Thanks, Ramki! It turns out that I hadn't forgotten to update the
title. Mark had just changed it when he published the JEP since he
thought the title above was too long. So I was just sitting here
trying to come up with a shorter and better title.<br>
<br>
I just updated the JEP title with your suggestion. :)<br>

I thought "embedded" were building with a very limited set
of GC support and explicitly excluding all GCs except the
serial collector.</div>

<div class="im"><br>
That's true of the "embedded" offering (thanks for the
reminder). I was thinking more generically of the Jav SE
offering being<br>
used in what might be considered "embedded" settings (such as
routers, network devices, switches, printers and so forth).<br>
Not sure if there is such a market, or I am thinking of a
phantom (insert appropriate Shakespeare quote here). <br>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Yes, and there is also
the issue of being able to test and verify the quality of
the combinations. At the moment we have about 9 combinations
but we only have resources to continuously test 3-4 of
them. I feel very uncomfortable recommending customers to
run untested GC combinations in production.<br>

Completely agree! I think this is a welcome step to keep the
platform evolving with the times and shedding vestigial
organs, as it were.<br>

Thanks, I genuinely believe it is a step in the right direction.<br>
