The reason for this is to support the latest version of GStreamer [2] which requires a newer version of GLib than what is available on OL 6.

As a heads-up, we are changing our production build environment for
JavaFX to Oracle Linux 7 with a dependency on GLIBC_2.14. This means
that JavaFX applications will stop running on some older Linux distros,
specifically Oracle Linux 6. I filed an issue in JBS [1] to track this
change.
