Fate of jdk.packager and jdk.packager.services?

[Michael Paus]

1. What forces you to make the switch from 8 to 11 at the same day when 
jdk11 comes out?
2. The plan is that when jdk11 comes out there will already be an EA 
version of jdk12 available which
     already contains a version of the new packager which will also work 
with jdk11 then.
     As long as this plan holds, there will be no gap.
