How To Solve a Problem Like Shenandoah 8u

[Andrew Hughes]

Hi all,

For those who are unaware, there is now a proposal to migrate
OpenJDK 8u first to a mono repository, and then to git+Skara:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/SKARA-1214

We thus need to decide what to do with the 8u+Shenandoah forks.

We could just apply the Shenandoah changes as one large patch
to the new monorepo, which would then be migrated to git.

Or we could try and involve Oracle to migrate the existing
repo.

I think the first option is the most straight-forward, but
it would mean the history would only then exist in the
retired Mercurial forest.

Thoughts?
