The jdk8 development tree at aarch64/jdk8 has been in use for some
time. I don't think we need it any more. aarch64/jdk8u tracks
upstream jdk8u far more closely: it differs from upstream only in the
minimum number of places needed to get AArch64 to work.
I'm proposing to close aarch64/jdk8 to all updates. aarch64/jdk8u
will be used for all commits. jdk8 is interesting from a historical
point of view, so it will be made read only.
The rules for committing to aarch64/jdk8u are:
1. All non-AArch64-specific patches come from jdk8u. If you want to
change anything non-AArch64 submit it to jdk8u.
2. All AArch64-specific patches, if they are relevant to jdk9, must
be submitted there first and back-ported to jdk8u.
Andrew.
