Ugh, yes, that's right. JIRA rewrites these URLs when it opens them into
the format I posted. 36396 & 36394 produce identical results and it's
not obvious on this end that one is private :( I can't see an option to
make one public either.

You seem to have snipped a bit of my e-mail here. This is referring to
the pending push list: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/issues/?filter=36427

It's a moving target so what I wrote in an e-mail may not be true when
you follow the link from that e-mail :) In this case, I think Paul dealt
with 8077608 in the interim.

That list is currently:

* JDk-8217305: Windows build issue (Aleksey)
* JDK-8213825: assertion fix (Aleksey)
* JDK-8189761: versioning fix, waiting on approval of 8193764 (gnu_andrew)
* JDK-8175120: Kerberos tests, out for review (gnu_andrew)

Two of those are our suggestions, and so aren't on the Oracle list
(8213825 & 8189761)

Yes, that's the final date when I expect nothing more to be accepted
into the release except security patches or critical, stop-the-train
stuff. I'd expect the first merge + tag to jdk8u to be this week.
