The problem with not automating testing on Windows/AArch64 is that changes made by programmers who develop on Linux/MacOS keep on breaking Windows without them or those actually working on Windows/AArch4 knowing about it. So the Windows devs end up running around with a brush and shovel continually trying to locate and clean up the ... err, ... detritus. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/31102#issuecomment-4508126216
