I'm happy to go whichever way the OpenJDK community thinks is the best
approach. On advantage I see from our perspective with the separate
project repo is that it may be easier to do a bit of experimentation and
testing different approaches before a merge into the mainline.

It will still be possible to do a phased approach to merging the changes
into the mainline, so that should give any reviewers that didn't come
around for the first merges into the project repo a second chance to
voice their concerns.

No, I haven't heard anything about that (I think). I'll read up on it,
and get back if I need a hand to hold on to :)

Take care!
