To be fair I'm unclear what role PD still plays on the JDK side and would not be surprised if it is destined for removal at some point. How do we recognise that the remaining uses of and reference to the PD are still needed and not something we could now delete? ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/22064#issuecomment-2475502902
