Proposed schedule change for JSR 376

[Tim Ellison]

In the original schedule, the Proposed Final Draft date for this JSR and 
the Feature Complete date for Java 9 is December 2015.  The new proposed 
schedule has the Public Review (June 2016) one month /after/ the Java 9 
proposed Feature Complete date (May 2016) [1].

If Java 9 is Feature Complete before the JSR is ready for Public Review, 
and well before the Proposed Final Draft, then it seems there will be 
little chance for the reviews to correct any significant problems in the 
JSR.
