I updated to avoid the unnecessary name change you pointed out, but i have left all others after reviewing.

Thanks.

If i don't have permission to push to the client repo (which might be likely) i will need to hand over the patch to yourself or Sergey to commit. And i presume this will have to be a separate issue.

How long would it take for the changes to the client jdk repo to make it's way into the jdk9-dev jdk repo?

It's quite clear to me this process does not scale. The amount of work that has to be done to treat the above mentioned packages separately is rapidly accelerating away from the work required to make such changes to the point at which it is extremely tempting to not bother to make such changes, which is bad because code starts ossifying.

What happens if i just commit to dev/jdk instead? :-)

Paul.
