Reminder: file JDK 26 CSRs well ahead of rampdown 1 start -- final reminder

[Joseph D. Darcy]

PPPS Final reminder, less than two weeks to go for the start of JDK 26 
rampdown 1.

Note: if you are the assignee of a CSR in Provisional state, it is your 
responsibility to update the state of the CSR to indicate it is ready 
for further review.

At this point, review of any sufficient large CSR may be deferred until 
after JDK 27 starts.
