It would be nice if the branch could be kept up to date. Usually it's only updated after a security update, however I'd like to see the merge for the base of the next security update (in this case jdk8u112-b04) be done before the security update. It would not be a problem, if providers of security updates would be allowed to share their work, but my understanding is this is yet not allowed. Matthias
