Hi Mario,
I am usually reluctant to have build tools changes in an update release,
too, so we will certainly take your concern very seriously.
As for JavaFX 8 entering maintenance mode, we expect to do most of our
work over the next few months in 8u20 (rather than 9), since we are
deferring a lot of bugs out of 8. Any new features will be done in 9,
but probably not until after 8u20 is in very good shape.

We might do an upgrade during some JDK 8u release (e.g., 8u20 or
8u40), but there would need to be a good reason to do so.
Hmmm, I really hope this won't be done, it would likely prevent to
release newer JavaFX (meaning more work to backport fixes).
Will JavaFX 8 enter maintainance mode? I was of the idea that once
OpenJFX8 is released for JDK8 then all the development would go into
*JFX9 for *JDK9 (with only bug fixing and perhaps stabilisation
fixes), no?
Cheers,
Mario
