As previously discussed on porters-dev the current target is not the first
JDK 8 release but rather the first non-security update (i.e. something like
JDK 8u2)
Given the scale and timing, isn't JDK 9 a more appropriate target ?
The goal of a JDK 8 update 2, *should* be stabilisation, and this sounds
rather the opposite.
It also introduces logistic issues like ramping up infrastructure which
in my experience
can't solved all that quickly.

I'm forced to send this to porters-dev but I do not subscribe to that list
(so it will probably get held up).
Given the way the JEP tasks have been split it would seem much more
appropriate to me for discussions to occur on hotspot-dev and core-libs-dev
as this, as the JEP says, is about the integration effort not the porting
effort.
Yes, I agree. I just wanted to wait until the JEP was published before
posting it to the appropriate lists
That said this is also relevant to jdk8-dev, also cc'd, as it affects all
JDK 8 development. I have trouble seeing how such a large effort can be
assimilated within the timeframes of the Java 8 schedule.
