@James, so can you please give us an update of the current state about this?
My understanding is the following below, can you confirm/complete? 2016-12-07 13:01 GMT+01:00 James Nord <[email protected]>: > I am -1000 on this. > > The code does not pass tests on windows.

So though I agree this is important to fix (and Alex provided an interested feedback about that, thanks Alex!), I guess this isn't a criterion for JDK7=>JDK8 upgrade, right? > > Using Windows subsystem for Linux gets you ubuntu 14.04 which does not > have native support for JDK8. > If the first reason is actually fixable, does it make that second one still actual? My understanding is no, because w/o Linux specific tests, you would be able to work without falling back to using the VM subsystem. And even if so, IIRC, we found there was apparently a (currently) Beta program when one could get 16.04, hence JDK8, right? In that case, it should/could appear reasonable then because in the meantime of the actual baseline upgrade (D+3 Months for weeklies as per Oliver's proposal) that Beta could possibly have graduated to GA (if it hasn't already?). IOW, do you still have any reason to want to block that baseline upgrade, or are you now fine with it?
