cc'ing core-libs-dev. Despite the notation on JEP 306 I don't think there's anyone from hotspot active in this area and most of the below is about SE library classes.

These are Java SE questions.
-Is it likely that JEP 306 could be updated in a Java update, earlier? Apart from the assertion 'will not fix', accurate floating point is a massive requirement. It isn't very possible to do within-range float or double multiplies, divides, powers, roots, or even things in other classes like obtaining the distances between two points (in Java2D and Java3D). -Could there be a BigDecimal version of StrictMath being put in to the standard libraries, under Java's own umbrella, and not as someone else's separate library?
