Thanks Erik, for this clarification. We won't backport it then.

(I guess this question unmasks my ignorance in that area 😉) This file is only used by Oracle. It's used to interact with our dependency management and build configuration system ("jib"), which is internal. We keep it in the source code since this configuration is very highly version specific and frequently changes in lock step with other source code changes. While the exact meaning of the contents of the file isn't obvious to an external reader, certain things pertaining to how Oracle configures builds can still be gleaned from it and may be useful to some (current compiler versions, values of some configure options etc). I would very much recommend against trying to merge changes here for OpenJDK update releases. /Erik > Thanks > Christoph >
