[RFC] ZGC proposal for aarch64 jdk11u

[Yangfei (Felix)]

Hi,

> ZGC in JDK 11 is fairly stable as it is, so there's no super compelling reason to
> spend time and resources on backporting JDK-8233506 at this time. However,
> backporting only JDK-8224675 would be a mistake, as it would destabilize ZGC
> (including the x86 port) so you would basically have to go all the way to
> JDK-8230565, or alternatively don't backport
> JDK-8224675 and adjust the aarch64 port accordingly.

Yes, we see your point here and will look into it.  

> Whatever path you take here, it would require significant work and testing,
> which is why I'd again recommend that you to consider using JDK

Thanks again for your helpful comments.  We will consider it when people are willing to switch to higher jdk versions.  

Best regards,
Felix
