JEP proposed to target JDK 21: 404: Generational Shenandoah (Experimental)

[Mark Reinhold]

The following JEP is proposed to target JDK 21:

  404: Generational Shenandoah (Experimental)
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/404

  Summary: Enhance the Shenandoah garbage collector with experimental
  generational collection capabilities to improve sustainable throughput,
  load-spike resilience, and memory utilization.

Feedback on this proposal from JDK Project Committers and Reviewers [1]
is more than welcome, as are reasoned objections.  If no such objections
are raised by 23:59 UTC on Friday, 12 May, or if they’re raised and
then satisfactorily answered, then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal [2]
I’ll target this JEP to JDK 21.
