<phew>  I was trying to devise a moral calculus for the trade-off.

I haven't been able find any statistics about the prevalence of JVM
crashes due to the regression, and so reached out to the folks at
AdoptOpenJDK earlier today.  They said that they had seen a number of
occurrences prior to the patch.

Given that the JVM bug can affect any application seems to tilt the
scale towards proceeding with the JDK update, so the release of an
upgrade path for Jenkins is a relief.

Thank you to you and Moritz for your work on this.
