<AWT Dev> Update to the proposal on enhancing MouseWheelEvent

[Denis Konoplev]

Hello Sergey,

I can enable smooth scrolling on linux via xinput2.
As I understand it, correct me if i am wrong, this change don't require
change of public API, we can use precise delta?

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Denis
