(And apologies if it was and I missed that discussion). Because PRs are usually followed only by active developers, but toolchain versions affect a broader part of the community. As we have seen in this PR, there are conflicting interests. We have things like CSRs and JEPs. Both are not ideal - a JEP is way too massive, and a CSR is about the compatibility of the product, not about build-time. Still, maybe something like a CSR would make sense here. I understand that with toolchain support, there will always be opposing parties, and I can see arguments on both sides. We don't want to end up like FreeBSD - stuck in time because of opinion stalemates. I just keep thinking that a PR is maybe not the perfect forum for this. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/14988#issuecomment-1946053820
