JEP 541: Deprecate the macOS/x64 Port for Removal
Summary
OpenJDK JEP 541 proposes deprecating the macOS/x64 port with removal planned for a future release to reduce maintenance burden as Apple shifts to AArch64. The changes include build-time configuration changes, deprecation notices in docs, and disabling the port by default in GitHub Actions; no guarantee the port will build or function. The article also notes a potential withdrawal or reversal if developers express a desire to maintain the port.
