I think that it's great that the various parties collaborating around 
OpenJDK 8 Updates maintenance are now embracing usage of JIRA as a 
common source of truth. But let's not rewrite issue history, please.

In the context of OpenJDK development, various parties have their own 
automation tools and rely on existing semantics of labels, versions etc. 
to mean specific things to them. Please don't just deliberately break 
other people's workflows you may not be aware of without due 
consideration and consultation, regardless of how strongly you may feel 
justified in doing so.

In that regard, it would be wiser and nicer to define your desired new 
semantics, which Aleksey argues for, for new tags/labels/releases, and 
to document them on the Project's wiki. Then the next set of maintainers 
that comes along once you step down can decide to embrace and continue 
to use them, if they fit their workflow, or deliberately make different 
choices.
