Yes. I will file the follow-up bugs listed in the PR soon, and the first
of these will be to remove all calls to doPrivileged. My plan is to file
an umbrella task with separate bugs for each module that can then be
split and done in parallel by different developers.

Very likely.

*Subject: *Proposal: Remove support for running JavaFX with the
security manager
The Java Security Manager was deprecated for removal in JDK 17 by JEP
411 [1]. The next step in the evolution of removing the security
manager
is to permanently disable it as proposed by candidate JEP 486 [2].
Once
this is done, System::getSecurityManager will unconditionally return
null, System::setSecurityManager will unconditionally throw
UnsupportedOperationException, and running "java -Dsecurity.manager"
will cause the VM to exit with a fatal error. This will either
happen in
JDK 24 (likely) or 25 (in case it misses 24). Either way, it will soon
be gone.
I propose to remove support for running JavaFX applications with a
security manager in JavaFX 24. Any JavaFX application that uses a
security manager will necessarily need to use JDK 21.x LTS going
forward, and thus can similarly use JavaFX 21.x LTS. See
JDK-8341090 [3].
