This is similar to previous bugs like 1649852, but reflects the new release process where Red Hat are also maintaining OpenJDK 8u upstream. We have regular security updates of the OpenJDK packages every three months. At present, updates from one upstream version to another all end up going in during a short two week period before the release, because that's when we have the full set of security patches, and hence security bugs under which to commit them. It would be preferable to avoid this bottleneck by updating to early builds of the next OpenJDK release in y-stream, so that the actual updates required for the security release is just the actual security patches. Building in RHEL early enables us to avoid potential issues that are limited to certain architectures we support, but that aren't commonly used by developers (e.g. ppc64, ppc64le, s390 & s390x). This is why I've chosen RHEL 7 for this bug, as it has the full complement of architectures we need to build on.
