The question is though, just for clarity, whether we really do need to vote
at all if (when) we provide a patch soon after the 11.2 release for a fix
to nb-javac, which will mean that only this specific file will need to
change:

https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/nb/updatecenters/extras/nbjavac.impl/release/modules/ext/nb-javac-13-impl.jar.external

I.e., the URL and fallback URL and hash will need to change in that module
and nothing else.

Will we really need to go through a vote process for this change?
