[7u communication] Plans for JDK 7u80 timeline

[dalibor topic]

With JDK 7u60 and 8u20 now GA, it's time to plan for the JDK 7u80
release.

In line with prior communication [1] to this mailing list, JDK 7u80 is
the last planned Oracle-led JDK 7u release to be developed within this
OpenJDK Project. The current proposal is that 7u80 should be the last
release at the end of public updates [2], planned for April 2015.

Given that 7u80 is the last planned Oracle-led JDK 7u release to be
developed within this OpenJDK Project, we need to consider raising the
bar for acceptable changes in the near future well ahead of time, like
we did for 7u60.

More details of milestones will become available in a
follow up email.

As always, please note that these plans are preliminary and subject to
change.

cheers,
