Sure, I can do it, but one of the opportunities of a major release is to
remove the code that is outdated and no longer used. JEP 367 states:
> The deprecation-for-removal of Pack200 in JDK 11 was proposed
<https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2018-June/001340.html>
and confirmed
<https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2018-June/001358.html>
in June 2018, with no further interest in the topic since that time.
Do you have some concrete examples of Pack200 users that the OpenJDK
project missed? From what I could gather:
* The last user question about Pack200 was in October 2021[1], I didn't
find any questions before.
* Since 2020 there are three `dev@commons` threads linked to problems
with Pack200 and Apache Harmony ([3], [4] and [5]).
* In February you published CVE-2024-26308[6] for a problem in Pack200.
Even if we publish Commons Compress 2.0.0, the 1.x branch isn't going
anywhere for some time. Pack200 might be left in that branch.
