So this seem to be becoming a new process for avoiding flag days - which 
is not a bad thing. But previously this was only a special exception for 
jsr-292 and now we seem to be generalizing it without there being any 
proper discussion to ensure all the right pieces are place to do this 
and so that everyone knows what is being done.
