That makes sense. We already do this with libc. When building (using the devkit based on the OpenJDK devkit), we use later versions of certain libraries, but we make sure the binaries still work on systems with older versions of the libraries. We should clearly state the minimum runtime requirements for some libraries (rather than for distributions, as it is always possible to hack new versions of libraries into old releases) . What I really want to avoid is having 2 (or more) versions of the binaries for the same platform/arch/os combination. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1305#issuecomment-1862376357
