Questions on Ground Rules

[Jim Holmlund]

Hi Dalibor, a few questions
- The two sentences in Rule 1 of the Ground Rules:
       http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7u/groundrules.html
    seem almost contradictory to me.   If I have a change that is going to go into both 7u and 8, it 
appears that I can push the fix to these two repos in either order.  Is that true?

- If there is an intent that a change destined for both 7u and 8 be pushed into 8 first, how long 
must one wait after pushing to 8 before pushing to 7u:
    - not specified - the push to 7u could be done immediately after the push to 8
    - until after nightly tests are successfully run on the 8 integration repo to which the fix was 
pushed
    - until the fix hits an 8 promoted build
    - until the fix hits an 8 promoted build and promotion testing has successfully been completed 
on that promoted build
    - ??

- The langtools group have some cases where a fix is already in JDK 8, and the patch for 7u is the 
same, and the webrev for the patch is not in a public place.  Would it be ok to just include a link 
to the JDK 8 changeset in the request for push message, eg:
       http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/langtools/rev/0d6d41563040

Thanks
