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

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi Severin,

I'm not sure whether this is a policy, but yes, 
I think in general we should try to do the same as
Oracle. We don't want to be behind, but also not in 
advance, except if there are good reasons.

We'll see it in the queries that there are changes
not pushed, reducing the chances of missing it.

Best regards,
  Goetz.
