Dear all.

Thanks for the encouragement, thanks for your comments, suggestions and ideas. I 
believe it is time to provide more permanent (than an email) summary of what we 
discussed so far. I've added such comment to the JIRA:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8051843?focusedCommentId=13531670&p
age=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-
tabpanel#comment-13531670[1] 

Please let me know if I am misinterpreting something. JIRA comment is editable, so I 
should be able to fix it.

I hope we continue our discussions and come up with even better ways to address the 
activeReferenceQueue cleanup problem!
