Okay... the OpenJFX project states in CONTRIBUTING.md, section "New features / API additions":
_Discuss the proposed feature on the [openjfx-dev](https://mail.openjdk.org/mailman/listinfo/openjfx-dev) mailing list._

I'm not sure how "internal" discussions qualify. Oracle is not the only stakeholder in this project.

My question was whether this is an educated guess, or whether this problem is corroborated by data.
