that people who want to do 4, who implement further security hardening
where others seemingly shy away, can continue to do 4.
Please don't do that. The cost Ron is talking about is not to "Oracle".
It is a cost to the OpenJDK project as a whole.
Likewise, the lack of project team interest in maintaining the security
manager and self-evident interest in applying resources to providing
other, more valuable Java capabilities is not simply restricted to
"Oracle" project members.
