Proposed schedule for JavaFX 14

[thevenet.fred at free.fr]

Hi Kevin,

I am wondering about the likelihood for the fix to JDK-8088198 that I 
proposed in PR #68 (https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/pull/68) to make it into 
JavaFX 14.
I think it is unlikely to be integrated into master by Thursday since it 
has yet to be fully reviewed, but since it is marked as a P3 bug, I understand 
that it could still be integrated during RDP1(provided it works as expected,
of course); am I correct?
In the event it doesn't make it on time for 14, would it qualify to be 
backported for inclusion in an intermediate release like 14.0.1, or would
it have to wait for JavaFX 15?

Thanks,
Frederic.

This is a final reminder that JavaFX 14 enters rampdown phase one (RDP1) 
on January 9, 2020 at 23:59 Pacific time.

Any change integrated to the default 'master' branch after that will be 
for JavaFX 15. I will fork a new 'jfx14' stabilization branch early 
Friday morning (Pacific time). As with previous releases, P1-P3 bug 
fixes, and test or documentation fixes of any priority can still get 
into JavaFX 14 during RDP1. I'll send out more details Friday morning.
