I hereby propose that the Core Libraries group withdraw sponsorship of
the Device I/O [1], Kona [2], Penrose [3], and Verona [4] projects.
These projects have been inactive for a long time:
- Device I/O has been inactive since 2018.
- Project Kona had some activity in 2015 but nothing since.
- Project Penrose had some activity in 2012 but nothing since.
- Project Verona defined the version-string scheme that integrated into
main line in 2015 for JDK 9 (JEP 223), its work is complete.
These projects have only one group sponsor. A consequence of withdrawing
sponsorship is that these projects will be dissolved [5]. Votes are due
by December 5, 2025, 23.59 UTC. Only current Core Libraries group
members [6] are eligible to vote on this motion. Votes must be cast in
the open by replying to this mailing list.
For Lazy Consensus voting instructions, see [7].
