Hi,

The "should only" sounds a little bit frightening to me:

"Java SE Patch Set Updates (PSU) contain all of fixes in the 
corresponding CPU, as well as additional non-critical fixes. Java PSU 
releases should only be used if you are being impacted by one of the 
additional bugs fixed in that version. The release notes call out the 
additional fixes available in Java SE PSU releases."

Anyway, I have started listening to comp.java.openjdk.hotspot.devel
recently. But this stream of posts is very difficult to comprehend,
but also interesting to see how development proceeds.

I guess anyway, should start with JDK 9 soon.

Bye
