So @shipilev, JDK 25 is in rampdown phase 1. Rampdown phase 2 starts 7/17. It's a big change for JDK 25. My sense of the risk is that it's not high. If it's checked in now, I think it'll get more testing than if it gets backported to a 25.01 release. I'll discuss it with people here. I think for JDK 21, we should wait for more testing to be run after 25 GA. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/25877#issuecomment-2992962430
