Thanks for pointing this out. The openjdk fix request was added
erroneously and was not required. I've removed those labels to make it
clear that this is not being actively ported to jdk11u.

11.0.3-oracle represents an Oracle JDK release and is entirely separate
from OpenJDK. (other examples include recent releses of JDK6 & 7, such
as 7u201)

The backports in the jdk11u repository use 11.0.3, following the convention
from JEPs 223 and 322.

Yes, this fix is planned for Oracle JDK 11.0.3. If you also backport it
to OpenJDK 11.0.3, it would additionally have a fixVersion of 11.0.3.

Afterwards I think the downport was either forgotten or Oracle's process changed. It then eventually got pushed to the 11.0.3 internal Oracle repository on 01/21/19.

True! I've removed the labels just to avoid the impression that it is
actively being worked, but as soon as someone wants to tackle it I'll be
ready to approve a new request.
