I do not support your judgement. That bug you mention was fixed nine years ago, 
so even the most exotic platforms should have adopted the fix meanwhile. This 
IS reliable and not more nor less buggy than any other part of the JRE. What we 
should do is give intensive tensting of Stefan's PR, but not overhastily 
abstain from it due to FUD. As a long time user of NIO API on Windows and Linux 
(speaking of years here) I strongly believe that the performance benefits will 
definitively outweigh the potential risks.

If it's working fine: Yes.

Look, that's why there's rules, understand? So that you think before
you break 'em.
