SecureDirectoryStream is optional and this JBS issue is add support on macOS. So I think Enhancement is the right issue type. I don't think we can classify as a bug, it's just that this feature couldn't be implemented on macOS when the original port was done in 7u4.

I'm not involved in update releases.
