   You underestimate your own power; you have global write privileges
   so you may approve the patch. :-)  I've reviewed it, too, and it
   looks OK to me.
   
   Tom, please check this in and close the PR.

I wanted to give Java maintainers an opportunity to
say "Don't use -P because..."

I do this out of courtesy to the Java people, not because
I don't know what my global write privileges afford me.

Indeed, it is a privilege not a right, and being conscientious
is a part of retaining that privilege.
