Informational JEP proposed for review: 12: Incubating Language and VM Features

[Volker Simonis]

Hi,

I've already raised my main concerns here:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2018-January/000603.html

and I still think that making "Incubating" features mandatory in the
Java SE specification is the wrong way to go. This proposal also
touches the JCP Java SE standardization process so I would suggest to
synchronize with the JCP EC and the corresponding Expert Groups before
implementing it in order to avoid surprises late in the
standardization process.

Regards,
Volker
