To be clear, I would not have objected to jdk saying "if you want that, build it yourself and we'll welcome it". I completely accept that developers of open source volunteer projects have no obligation to fulfil any development request from any user, but the gp did not demand or even request any change. They gave their opinion about how software should work, and they asked a rhetorical question about data loss. I just think that jdk could have made their point in a much more welcoming way, if they had been as polite and positive as the gp.
