   Well late to the comment but this is not clear.
   Is this the dependency on a possible vanishing fork the point ? 
   Because we may have a "mojohaus"-like organization, with our own fork of nb-javac, frgaal we could put on mavencentral with a groupId we own (i.e. blabla.org) . This could solve the vanish as we could have several individual able to release. Karma beeing granted by  existing members with release rules that can be decided. 
   That grants us, the ability to release anytime upstream lib, not only when individual wants. Risk of vanishing could be 0.
   Have to make clear that vanishing is not for version 20.0.0 because it's sealed in maven central. Vanishing is what will happens tomorrow if NetBeans needs constructs of JDK 40 and frgaal people give up releasing, we will need to make a move to openjdk 40 with all the debt from JDK8 to JDK40. 
   Pessimistic at the time od JDK40 they will be a CVE in 20.0.0 frgaal that will prevent his usage.
    
   In a world we have dependencies at our hands, would it be still an issue ?
