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.
