hotspot-dev seems defunct

Tue Jun 16 15:47:31 UTC 2020

It's actually hard to find mails which were sent exclusively to
"hotspot-dev" (which might be a lucky coincidence in this case :) but
I can confirm that I also don't have all the mails from the
hotspot-dev archive in my Gmail inbox.

So maybe we should ask the other way round: who at all (outside Oracle
?) did receive all the mails sent to hotspot-dev in the last weeks or
so?

Following two mails from the hotspot-dev archive which I couldn't find
in my Inbox:

Fri Jun 12 12:03:46 UTC 2020
RFR: 8247466: AIX link error undefined
MetaspaceShared::_use_optimized_module_handling

Mon Jun 1 05:51:25 UTC 2020
RFR 8245289: Clean up offset code in JavaClasses
