[aur-requests] [PRQ#34980] Deletion Request for jdk-devel-docs

[notify at aur.archlinux.org]

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for jdk-devel-docs [2]:

Addon documents package for the defunct 'jdk-devel' package
(Oracle Java 11 Development Kit preview version).

Both packages are orphaned and source is behind Oracle
paywall.

Both 'jdk-devel' and 'jdk-devel-docs' names are confusingly too broad
because of legacy reasons. These are not based on OpenJDK but on
Oracle's version of JDK.

I think it is not useful to keep this package. Oracle insider access
subscribers can likely download / access the non-public documentation
already, without this defunct package.

Also the majority of the development is not done by Oracle behind
closed doors,
but by a collaborative open-source community (OpenJDK). Maybe that's
the reason
for the limited and diminished interest for this Oracle-based package
during the
last few years.
