We are seeking feedback on a new JEP Draft ("Disable SHA-1 Certificates) 
that is initially targeted to JDK 9:

   http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/8149555

The goal of the JEP is to improve the default security configuration of 
the JDK by disabling X.509 certificate chains with SHA-1 based signatures.

Backports to earlier releases will be targeted at a later date after 
more communication, discussion and testing.

Thanks,
Sean
