For future contributions, I invite you to familiarize yourself with the [OpenJDK Contributing Guide](https://openjdk.java.net/guide/), and particularly the ["Socialize your change"](https://openjdk.java.net/guide/#socialize-your-change) section, which highlights the importance of discussing non-trivial changes ahead of time on the appropriate mailing list (client-libs-dev "at" openjdk.java.net, in this case), rather than just showing up with a pull request. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/7000
