I don’t think we quite agreed on the resolution of this issue. I don’t have a strong opinion about it, but I do think it should be resolved either as Fixed or Not An Issue. One alternative which removes the seemingly contentious verbiage is here: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/8067669/webrev.01/ Note that the change at line 40 should be made even if the other diffs are rejected.
