Thanks for the detailed explanation. I think we have to keep sun.misc.Version working correctly but sacrifice binary consistency in JVM_GetVersionInfo. As long as stuff such as AOT compilation and class data sharing keep working I think we're OK. It's not great, but it's an almost-inevitable consequence of using a one-byte field for the minor version and bumping releases by 10. -- Andrew Haley (he/him) Java Platform Lead Engineer Red Hat UK Ltd. <https://www.redhat.com> https://keybase.io/andrewhaley EAC8 43EB D3EF DB98 CC77 2FAD A5CD 6035 332F A671
