OracleJDK update releases have moved to using fixVersions with an -oracle suffix. With this change, pool record consumption for such releases will also use an -oracle suffix. I opted for a very simple implementation, where any "-suffix" on a fixVersion is now required as suffix on a -pool version to be a match. I think this makes the most sense and keeps things simple going forward.

I have no memory of seeing that behavior in action and I believe that implementation was based on a misunderstanding. I could be wrong however, so if anyone can think of a reason to keep that logic, please let me know.

It looks like the patch does what you claim it to do. :-) I can't say I fully understand the -pool (or backporting in general) relationship, though, so I can't really if this is the correct action.
