It would only mean that this fixed version should also work with a
Forrest that works with the buggy earlier version.
So, we would be creating a workaround for a Java bug that the fixed
version might no require any longer. => do double work.
in years of java development, i never hit a bug in the jdk. pretty
remote probability, imo.
