Any details as to when the RDP milestone will be done and fixes can be
collected for a post-u202 release? Do I need to label pending fixes
with 'openjdk8u' in JBS? If I do so, what needs to happen next for
fixes to get in?

My concern is that fixes will be lost in traffic in the time between
now and January 2019.

Thanks,
Severin
