Proposed schedule for JavaFX 14

[Kevin Rushforth]

As a reminder, RDP1 for JavaFX 14 starts on January 6, 2020 (at 23:59 
Pacific time).

With the holidays approaching, please allow sufficient time for any 
feature that needs a CSR. New features should be far enough along in the 
review process so you can finalize the CSR before next Friday, Dec 20, 
or it is likely to miss the window for this release, in which case it 
can be targeted for JavaFX 15.

During rampdown of JavaFX 14, the "master" branch of the jfx repo will 
be open for JavaFX 15 fixes.

We will follow the same process as previous releases for getting fixes 
into JavaFX 14 during rampdown. I'll send a message with detailed 
information later, but generally candidates for fixing after RDP1 are 
P1-P3 bugs (as long as they are not risky) and test or doc bugs of any 
priority.
