Thanks Jim. I recorded this policy in JEP 12, under "Relationship to
Java SE APIs":
"The API developer must also add an @since tag that indicates the
release when @preview was first added. (If the essential API element is
eventually made final and permanent in Java SE $Z, then the @since tag
must be changed to indicate the $Z release.)"
