FYI,
those changes seem to trigger a spurious failure when running langtools
regression tests on a Windows machine [1]. We have been working to
isolate the problem and put together a fix which I am testing as we
speak. If the experiment is successful we can decide what's the best
course of action (i.e. direct push to master) in order to minimize the
number of teams that will be affected by this issue.
