JEP 291: Deprecate the Concurrent Mark Sweep (CMS) Garbage Collector

All,
I've been working on the examples and we're been discussing (arguing)
about them here. They are failing into at least the following
classes
- Use inheritance to specialize for CMS (specialize card table is
envisioned as an example).
- Use a GC Interface to request something different for CMS (different write
barriers for example).
- Compile code under macros
Similar to INCLUDE_ALL_GCS
Leaves calls to specialized CMS code visible in the shared code
Involves some code refactoring
- Move more code to the cms directory (ParNew for example)
- Custom solutions which might use one or more of the above techniques.
- Argument processing I don't know about yet.
We're still arguing about the example so they're not here.
As I've said Oracle would not drop support of CMS until at least
jdk 10 so working on separating out the code would be work
for the jdk 10 time frame. Do people have reasons to get that
done earlier rather than later?
Also is your management's support for spending engineering time
on this effort a slam-dunk? Or a qualified maybe? I'm trying to
get a feel for how real this CMS project is.
