I agree with all that. I don't even object to upgrading to a recent(ish) GCC, but I do think we ought to at least get a mention of the downsides on the record, and sometimes that job falls to me. So I think I agree it's the right thing to do going forward, even though it might be a bit bumpy for those of us trying to build the JDK on a range of elderly long-term-support Linux systems. > I also apologize for my hash expressions. :( I did not mean to insult anyone. No problem. We're good. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/14988#issuecomment-1948879029
