The first rakudo-star release since the Perl 6 spec was stabilized! I removed JVM support because it's not considered functional yet and upstream recommends using MoarVM only.

Any specific reason to remove to jvm backend?

The release notes say

Please note that this release of Rakudo Star is not fully functional with the
JVM backend from the Rakudo compiler. Please use the MoarVM backend only.

but nothing more specific than that. If someone needs the JVM backend I'd be happy to add it back.

Sounds sensible, we can readd it as soon as it is working again.

Yes that sounds sensible. Please mention the removal and the reason for it in the commit message.

Support for the JVM backend has been temporarily switched off as
it's not fully functional yet and upstream recommends against
using it.
