[Jack Woehr <jwoehr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I asked Jesse Gorzinski and he says:

   - JV1 Java 11 is Java Semeru Certified Edition
   - RPM Java 11 is Java Semeru Open Edition
   - We didn't cement the naming as such to avoid confusion.
   - Semeru name really was unfortunate because it killed 57 people
   erupting in 2021.
