Hi Andrew , it would follow what Oracle did in 11.0.13-oracle and what Azul did successfully in 13.0.10 please see https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8261169 , those are all older / established releases .
>If people want a newer HarfBuzz, they can use --with-harfbuzz=system > or upgrade to a newer JDK. Unfortunately at least on the Linux distros I checked , the system-installed harfbuzz would be older , not newer (at least on SLES where I checked). Might be different on other distros however ...

I don't think it is appropriate to break existing build setups on a 3+ year old JDK. If people want a newer HarfBuzz, they can use --with-harfbuzz=system or upgrade to a newer JDK. -- Andrew :) Pronouns: he / him or they / them Senior Free Java Software Engineer OpenJDK Package Owner Red Hat, Inc.
