I have provided support in the past and would do so again if possible.
The direct current mechanism for materially support of ABCL development is provided by the ongoing [ABCL appreciation][] campaign.
If someone wants a more directly responsible arrangement, I would be more than willing to engage in a more mutually beneficial direct commercial relationship.
There will certainly be an abcl-1.8.1 in the near term, but if there was sufficient commercial interest in supporting openjdk8 as a thing, I would be happy to direct more of my efforts towards longer temporal terms.
In any event, regardless of future possible material donations, I am very happy that you find commercial utility with the current ABCL on openjdk8.
