The quoted text seems to be from a mail that Magnus Ihse Bursie sent to
the discuss list in 2020 [1]. It's the same date that JDK-8242934 [1]
was created so it may be that the mail was (at least partly) prompted by
the need to change the test for`jfr print --json`. The test for that
feature used to use Nashorn and had to be changed to use a JSON parser
in the test suite. The JSON parser was subsequently moved to
test/lib/jdk/test/lib/json/JSONValue.java so it could be used by other
tests.
