JDK 9 schedule was approved by all, including Java Community outside Oracle.

I looked on original Mark's email about "JDK 9 Rampdown Phase 1" and there were no exceptions listed:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk9-dev/2016-August/004777.html

But I understand that JDK 9 schedule reflects the process inside Oracle and may not be applied directly to your process.
I will try to clarify situation with your ports regarding JDK 9 schedule and inform you.
