openjdk-8 still needed for bootstrapping?

[Thorsten Glaser <t.glaser@tarent.de>]

Hi,

apparently there’s again the question whether we still need
openjdk-8 in sid for bootstrapping JVM-based languages and/or
utilities. This is independent of the question whehter it
should be there to ease backports or because people might
otherwise turn to Canonical’s commercial offer or whether it
can be supported in sid with not too high effort (given it’s
maintained with an active upstream, I’d say yes).

Last time I asked the answer was a vague yes; is this still
the case?

Thanks in advance,
