As a reminder, RDP1 starts tomorrow. I will fork the 'jfx17' branch at
16:00 UTC.

As a reminder, Rampdown Phase 1 (RDP1) for JavaFX 17 starts on July 8,
2021 at 16:00 UTC (09:00 Pacific time), which is two weeks from today.
During rampdown of JavaFX 17, the "master" branch of the jfx repo will
be open for JavaFX 18 fixes.
Please allow sufficient time for any feature that needs a CSR. New
features should be far enough along in the review process that you can
finalize the CSR before Thursday, July 1, or it is likely to miss the
window for this release, in which case it can be targeted for JavaFX 18.
We will follow the same process as in previous releases for getting
fixes into JavaFX 17 during rampdown. I'll send a message with
detailed information later, but candidates for fixing during RDP1 are
P1-P3 bugs (as long as they are not risky) and test or doc bugs of any
priority. Some small enhancements might be considered during RDP1, but
they require explicit approval; the bar will be high for such requests.

That should be a "jfx17" branch.

GA: Sep 7, 2021
We plan to fork a jfx16 stabilization branch at RDP1. The GA date is
expected to be one week ahead of JDK 17, matching what we did for 16.
As was done for the previous release, the start of RDP1, the start
of RDP2, and the code freeze will be 16:00 UTC on the respective dates.
Please let Johan or me know if you have any questions.
