Ping. I realized I hadn’t uploaded the webrev, just the rendered API docs with the delayed index loading, so here is the new webrev:
https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~hannesw/8236935/webrev.01/ We need to decide whether we want to get this into 15 or defer to 16. The most significant change outside of the UX fix is that all index files are generated all the time, even if they contain no items.
