JDK 10 forests open for bug fixes and small enhancements

[Bob Vandette]

I have a JDK 10 specific hotspot change that I’d like to get integrated into 10.
The work is done but needs a review.  During the review I’ll see what the consensus
is on how destabilizing this change is.  This will not get back ported to JDK 9.

Where should this change be integrated to, jdk10/dev or jdk10/hs?

How often will changes be pulled from jdk10/dev to jdk10/hs?

Thanks,
Bob.
