As you guessed this is a time/resource problem. Given that the JDK 9 FC
date is coming up fast we feel that it is not realistic to get the whole
project finished up and pushed in time. I do think and hope that this
can be picked up and targeted to an upcoming release instead, the sooner
the better.
Hope this helps,
