12	A user did file a bug for Java 9. Which the response they received from
13	Gentoo discouraged them and they closed it. Nice!!!!

16	IMHO no way to respond to a user. Their reaction is the exact reason
17	why. When others showed in #gentoo-java asking about 9. I first stated
18	I guess no one cares since no bug has been filed. To my surprise one
19	was, and it was closed due a rude response from Gentoo. They could have
20	not commented at all.... Bug would have remained open. Doubt that users
21	will return... Much less help out etc.
22
23	My response and attitude is because the only reason Java 9 was not in
24	tree zero day release, is because of Gentoo itself.

27	I would have had it in log ago and maintained since. Much less discover
28	all the issues I am now and fixing them in tree vs overlay.
