I am a bit more skeptical: I count a combined 2,928 files changed with 
156,053 insertions and 51,363 deletions compared to the upstream 
jdk9/jdk9 trees.  With a single blob of that size, is it realistic to 
expect that it can be reviewed sensibly?

Using the most recent data from my git mirror I get this approximate 
breakdown (there are rounding errors in dirstat but this gives a good 
general idea):
   19.4% hotspot/
   55.0% jdk/
   20.0% langtools/

The JDK patch alone is going to be nearly 100,000 lines of insertions 
and nearly 20,000 deletions.  That's a pretty big patch.
