I was agreeing with what I interpreted you to be saying, which I believe
was:

During RDP1:

1. Tag in jdk8u-dev/jdk11u-dev
2. Pull into jdk8u / jdk11u

and thus the tag will be in both repositories.

In RDP2:

1. Tag in jdk8u / jdk11u
2. Pull into jdk8u-dev / jdk11u-dev

with again the end result being that the tag is in both repos.

During both stages, someone not involved in development can ignore
jdk8u-dev & jdk11u-dev and just pull each new tag from jdk8u & jdk11u
for builds & testing.

I think that keeps things simpler for downstreams who primarily want to
consume the results rather than participate in their production.

Hope that's clearer,
