Availability of hg.openjdk.org

[erik.joelsson at oracle.com]

Hello Steffen,

While it is our intention to keep a read-only version of hg.openjdk.org 
available for a long time, I would strongly encourage you to switch your 
scripts to using GitHub. The sources on hg.openjdk.org are severely 
outdated and the server is only kept around for reference. We have 
migrated all relevant repositories to GitHub and that is now our 
preferred hosting solution.
