I think the confusing part of Kevin's mail was the "file to bugs.java.com" bit.
I think he meant for customers who already file bugs report to the shipped-with-Oracle idk version of JavaFX, not the same OpenJFX we discuss here. OpenJFX bugs will be directed to the JIRA based https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/ Kevin, is that right, did I understand you correctly?
