Quick announcement: Jackson 2.9 support (releasing new micro-patches) will
end on December 31, 2020. But before this, starting September 15, 2020, a
new criteria will be used on kinds of vulnerabilities that will be accepted
to be worked on (and for which CVE IDs will be allocated by the project).

This is outlined on Wiki:

https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/wiki/Jackson-Polymorphic-Deserialization-CVE-Criteria

but the basic idea is that we will only accept reports for "gadget" classes
in:

* JDK 8 (or later)
* Publicly available, "popular enough" libraries with 20 or more
dependencies from other libraries (as per https://mvnrepository.com)

This criteria is added since a few classes have been reported on libraries
that do not seem to be used by anything else; I think security researchers
are not scanning full set of libraries and over time will find matches from
things no one uses, and there is no value in adding blocks in such cases.
