Proposed schedule for JavaFX 25

As a reminder, Rampdown Phase 1 (RDP1) for JavaFX 25 starts on Thursday, 
July 17, 2025 at 16:00 UTC (09:00 US/Pacific time), ten days from now.

During rampdown of JavaFX 25, the "master" branch of the jfx repo will 
be open for JavaFX 26 fixes.

Please allow sufficient time for any feature that needs a CSR. New 
features should be far enough along in the review process that you can 
finalize the CSR no later than Thursday, July 10, or it is likely to 
miss the window for this release, in which case it can be targeted for 
JavaFX 26.

We will follow the same process as in previous releases for getting 
fixes into JavaFX 25 during rampdown. I'll send a message with detailed 
information when we fork, but candidates for fixing during RDP1 are 
P1-P3 bugs (as long as they are not risky) and test or doc bugs of any 
priority. Some small enhancements might be considered during RDP1, but 
they require explicit approval; the bar will be high for such requests.
