Seems sensible to me, modulo resolution of the embedded notification issue being 
discussed on the rest of this thread.

Now wait... is there a jdk9-changes list that will receive change notifications 
for the jdk9 master forest? Because Mark had said earlier,

According to that, there would be no jdk9-changes list, and change notifications 
for master would go directly to jdk9-dev. (And presumably replies as well.)

I don't particularly care whether the notification list for changes to master is 
called jdk9-changes or jdk9-master changes. I'd like for there to be one 
separate from the jdk9-dev discussion list. In my opinion, mixing in the change 
notifications just clutters up the discussion list.
