Support plans for JDK9? was [Re: RFR [9], 2018-04-12, Bulk backports to sh/jdk9]

[Jerven Bolleman]

Hi Aleksey, All,

I am a little bit curious about your continued hard work to backport
Shenandoah to JDK-9.
It was my understanding that the idea was to have JDK-9 be a short term
support version which
was not going to get any maintenance love once JDK-10 was out. I know that
this the position of
Oracle and that you all work for RedHat ;) So what I wanted to know is if
RedHat is planning (or maybe
idly contemplating) to have a different support cycle than Oracle for JDK-9
and 10.

Regards,
Jerven
