Makes sense, sure. But both Dan and Serguei voiced opposition to this
patch. Dan, Serguei, what do you think?

If we do not find an agreement, I would rather close this bug as WNF
than push it in without consensus. I would then just fix it downstream
in our port.

Your proposed RFE would still make sense, but not in jdk12 anymore,
let alone in older releases.

Thanks, Thomas
