For clarity, I can't review my own patch. Another 8u reviewer needs to
do so before I can push it.

This depends on https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8193764.

I haven't posted an RFR for that either because I currently have three
pending for over 24 hours:

https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk8u-dev/2019-March/008846.html
https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk8u-dev/2019-March/008844.html
https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk8u-dev/2019-March/008845.html

All of these are pretty trivial patches, so I'm curious why they've not
been reviewed yet.

Paul & Aleksey are both 8u reviewers. Are we in a position to propose
any more?

Suspending approvals at present will block JDK-8193764 and thus JDK-8189761.

However, I don't intend to approve any more bugs until we've branched.
