While I was writing the above, there were two announcements on jdk-dev
of JEPs having their state changed (both were targeted to JDK 13):
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2019-May/002821.html
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2019-May/002822.html
Out of interest, I followed the second mail's link to JEP 351. The
Description field of JEP 351 told me that the feature -- an enhancement
to ZGC -- is discussed on `hotspot dash gc dash dev at openjdk dot java
dot net`. I visited the archives of hotspot-gc-dev for April and May,
and immediately saw mails discussing the feature.
The commitment to transparency, both by the feature's engineers and the
OpenJDK Lead, is incredible.
