GraalVM JIT now integrated into Oracle JDK but still not in OpenJDK

[Glavo]

Can anyone answer this question? It seems to have been neglected.

This is also the question I want to ask. For a long time, no one seemed to
mention Galahad again.
I'd like to know what else Project Galahad has done besides releasing
GraalVM on the same schedule as OpenJDK and changing Graal's package and
module names?
Is there a schedule for merging Graal into OpenJDK mainline?
