Approved assuming they're also unused in 11 & 12!

Fix Request: Requesting to backport this fix to JDK 11u and JDK 12u for code maintainability. The fix is simple and removes one unused function. The JDK 13 patch applies as is to JDK 11u and JDK 12u.

Yes, you're right. I'll add the backports

Simon, this could/should be trivially backported to 11u and 12u, right? Updated "Affects versions" with 11 and 12, please put appropriate "Fix Request" for backports. The patch seems to apply and build for both 11u and 12u.
