I will, though I'll need a bug ID for it. I presume tl is ok as

This going into 8? Then yes.
At first, yes. Do you have any objections to me proposing it for 7u too, in
due course?
None here, other than needing a separate code review.

Unfortunately, Oracle and some of our commercial (non-OpenJDK)
licensees
still depend on that tricky code. :( I'd personally love to
strip
it
all out, but we have to balance all of its consumers (Oracle SE
and
ME,
commercial source/binary licensees, OpenJDK, etc.)

Yes, this is what I thought. We just have to make sure to test
well
before shipping binaries.
