Hi Phil,

I've increased the priority of the issue to P2, because it is a
serious regression which breaks many applications. And I've requested
a backport to 11u as described in the OpenJDK Updates Project push
approval process document [1].

And you're totally right - people must finally understand the
difference between Oracle- and OpenJDK and why it is so important to
have downstream distributions like https://sapmachine.io . We will
definitely put this fix into our 11.0.2 release :)

Regards,
Volker
