If the JEP-style documentation in the gist has value for _application_ 
developers, then a markdown file in the repo is the wrong place to put it.

A Wiki might also not be the best place to put it, unless we add a bit of rigor 
to keep it organized.
 
If we were actually using the JEP process (instead of just documenting larger 
features using the JEP template to inform the discussion of the features), then 
the JEP itself would be the place to put it. These are converted to a readable 
format and are persistent. For example, see [JEP 
431](https://openjdk.org/jeps/431) for a recent JDK JEP.

I'm not suggesting that we use the JEP process as it has overhead and some 
aspects that are likely not be suitable, although we could consider doing so.

In any case, I do not want to see anything done with the GIST in question as 
part of this PR. Nor do I want to see it done in isolation without further 
discussion on the openjfx-dev mailing list about the general question of where 
/ how to record feature docs.
