What fix do you propose for the Openjdk8 side of the problem? If
there's a number of packages that need to be rebuilt it'll need to
involve rel-eng and so I suggest if that's a course action a rel-eng
ticket with the make4 owners cc:ed, hopefully the feature owners will
pipe up here with a solution.
