Hi Martin, 

after having had a thorough look, your change looks good to me.

Thank you for doing the cleanup and streamlining the implementation.

Best regards,
Lutz

    Hi Xin,

    no problem. As already mentioned, your review is appreciated. I'll wait for a Reviewer's review, of course.

    I think JDK-8230552 will be nice after JDK-8022574 and JDK-8244949.
    Thanks for doing it and for your support.

    Best regards,
    Martin
