JDK 17 is now in the Release Candidate Phase

[mark.reinhold at oracle.com]

Per the JDK 17 schedule [1], we are now in the Release Candidate phase.
The stabilization repository [2] is open for P1 bug fixes per the JDK
Release Process (JEP 3) [3].  All changes require approval via the
Fix-Request Process [4].

If you’re responsible for any of the bugs on the RC candidate-bug list
[5] then please see JEP 3 for guidance on how to handle them.

We’ll tag the first Release Candidate build shortly.
