Hi Rob! Thanks for RM'ing lang 3.8!
I think it would be good to fix for LANG-1339, as we get closer to supporting Java 9 someday... I believe the summary from the last comments in the discussion in the mailing list is that looks like Observable/Observable won't be removed from the JDK, but marked as deprecated and not maintained. We can't just copy the JVM code into our codebase (even if internal). And java.util.concurrent provides the building blocks for the DIY observer/observable pattern. Alas, it could take a while until we had a proper replacement for the observable/observer. So maybe we could discuss merging the pull request, and adding the deprecated note for existing circuit breakers? The cons of this solution, is that the new circuit breakers would rely on code being marked as deprecated in JDK 9 I think :/ (unless someday we got a proper replacement in something like Java 12, 13, ...) But I wouldn't want to block the release if it appears it'd take too long to fix it. WDYT?

Does anyone want to get any specific jira's in? I think that I can quickly button up LANG-1408 (selfishly want to get that in).
