Well, my comment was based on this post:

  https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk8u-dev/2019-May/009370.html

If I understand well, non GA releases will be reported with a -ea suffix
when typing "java -version" (at least for OpenJDK 8, I haven't checked
for OpenJDK 11). If upstream does this, so should we, otherwise we'll be
blamed for falsifying the version reported.
