I'm aware of this.

What about those changes that aren't "proposed for inclusion"?

You say, in reply to Martin's e-mail, that "The OpenJDK JDK 8 Updates
Project doesn't  develop the CPU releases itself", which implies that
this inclusion process for CPU releases is something separate from
the OpenJDK 8 Updates project. We do know that the result is not
something that is visible to the public until the "bulk integration"
you refer to, so it does not seem an appropriate replacement for
the releases that are part of this project.

Will the changes be included in the next release by this project? That
seems to now be 8u152, though there is no deadline for it [1]. What
happened to 8u132 and 8u142?
