Ok, it's cool to see that is not blocked. I can't speak for Emmanuel but I wonder why you can't collaborate more closely on this. I think it's undeniable you are the most experienced OpenJDK maintainer and maybe the only one that's is active right now (I think Damien is busy nowadays). So, if Emmanuel is interested on the maintenance I think it's a good opportunity to integrate him to that workflow and have more people on board. > Afaics, fixing build failures with openjdk-8 as the default is not blocked. That's absolutely true. However, if openjdk-8 is not going to be included on jessie then the priority of taking care of those bugs is not going to be very high for maintainers. > debian-java is not the place to speculate about NEW processing. I concur. However, as I said I brought this topic because I'm wondering about the relevance of some bugs at this point of the release cycle, so it's tangentially relevant (for me at least).
