The relevant quote from Mark’s mail [1].

 "The JDK 9 development forests will be initialized from a specific
  build of JDK 8.  After that build, merges between the two code lines
  will not be permitted.  A developer who pushes a change into JDK 8
  must also apply that change independently to JDK 9, if that change
  is applicable to JDK 9.”

We are following this process in the core area, and it is working well.

-Chris.

If I read the mails correctly then this means that anything pushed to a jdk8 integration forest that didn't make b120 needs to be pushed to one of the jdk9 integration forests, right? I just want to check because I see several changes in jdk8/tl that are not in jdk9/dev (not yet anyway).
