Hi Matthias,

Yes, I will both cease and also remove these NMUs from the upload queue
if you would prefer that.  Regarding communication, we have been
discussing the bug in the BTS since September 18th and I announced my
intention to NMU on September 20th:

I assumed that you saw the traffic - after all, you did see the nmudiff
email - but would you prefer a direct cc: in the future?

Regarding the sudden activity - in my opinion, the jlink bug is serious.
Part of the functionality of the JDK was broken in order to support
reproducible builds - and so I was trying to help address that.  I'm
grateful that Julian discovered the root cause.

As for what's happened since we spoke at FOSDEM, I will follow up
privately, as I don't think it matters for the list.  Regardless, I
didn't intend to disappoint.  Let's use this as an opportunity to learn
how to better interact with the OpenJDK team.

Regards,
tony
