Ah, right, this sounds like a good explanation, thanks, Kaelyn! I think we should consider core-updates frozen for the moment, but someone updating these intermediate openjdk versions in the future should pay attention to it. In the meantime, I have pushed a convoluted patch that adds and removes the patch by dancing back and forth. Andreas
