What is "sufficient lead time"? I'm not proposing an answer, just suggesting that 3 months (approx time between JEP publication and JDK 12 fork) might be sufficient, and a worthy goal. That's a decision that ought to be made as part of the Targeting discussion for this JEP. Right now, it's not even a Candidate, since there's still work to be done. > Meanwhile, our testing has finished and I'm now confident we will be able to > switch ARM port over to 7.x in 12 time frame.

Having a goal of JDK 12 may help move things along.
