[11u] CSR question re. backport ofJDK-8228669: JFR tool

[Langer, Christoph]

Hi Jie,

you did everything right. I've reviewed the CSR and I suggest you move it to Finalized. As tomorrow is the OpenJDK committers workshop, I'll take the chance to ask Andrew Haley and Joe Darcy about the state of the CSR process for jdk11u.

I'm also wondering why the Oracle backport didn't use a CSR although the original change obviously needed one.

Best regards
Christoph
