Let me try to rephrase. You said: `[...] the issue isn't that minor.` Why? Is it affecting regular GC operation? If so in what way and why is that important enough to fix now? It has to outweigh the benefits of accepting the risk to backport those enhancements to an old codebase. I'm arguing, if it's affecting reporting only, it's not justified to backport (even if Oracle decided to backport it). I've not heard enough arguments in favor of accepting the risk of this backport, but if I do, I might change my mind.
