Reminder: file JDK 25 CSRs well ahead of rampdown 1 start -- 5 weeks to go

[Joseph D. Darcy]

PS Now just five short weeks until JDK 25 rampdown 1 start. Any JEPs or 
other large projects considering going into JDK 25 that have not already 
started the CSR process should do so in the near future.

Cheers,

-Joe
