Reeks too much of resisting change for resisting's sake, and we don't want that. While I still think the change is much too big, I never have liked MEMFLAGS myself either. In comments and code, it has been named "nmt category" in places, which I like more. I think simple renaming change MEMFLAGS->xx, with xx being something like "NMTCategory" or "NMTTags" or similar, would be okay. If other refactorings are omitted, such an isolated change could be backported more easily to older releases. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12454
