Request for CSR review: 8214349: Implementation: JEP 189: Shenandoah: A Low-Pause Garbage Collector

[Roman Kennke]

Hi Per and all,

The CSR is still waiting for reviews from Hotspot-GC reviewers. Could
you, or one of you, review the Shenandoah flags CSR, if you find some
time? I believe it's important that once you've done it, you put your
name under 'Reviewed-by' field, which can be found under the 'Edit' button.

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8214349

Thanks,
Roman
