The following JEPs have been placed into the "Proposed to Target"
state by their owners after discussion and review:

  200: The Modular JDK
       http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/200

  260: Encapsulate Most Internal APIs
       http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/260

  261: Module System
       http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/261

       http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/282

  284: New HotSpot Build System

The following JEP has been placed into the "Proposed to Drop"
state by its owner:

  230: Microbenchmark Suite
       http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/230

Feedback on these proposals is more than welcome, as are reasoned
objections.  If no such objections are raised by 22:00 UTC next
Thursday, 17 March, or if they're raised and then satisfactorily
answered, then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal [1] I'll target
these JEPs to JDK 9.

(This information is also available on the JDK 9 Project Page [2]).
