JEP 425 will attempt to integrate this weekend, can we hold off on integrating other big changes until next week?

Committers,

JEP 425 is currently proposed to target JDK 19. If targeted on Friday, 
and no blocking issues come up this week, then we'll attempt to 
integrate over the weekend (May 7/8). This is a big integration and the 
openjdk/jdk repo is a moving target. It would be unfortunate if a 
"refactor the world" commit, or something that required significant 
re-work, were to integrate ahead of this JEP.  We are doing merging + 
testing each day but we need something that is nearly final by Friday so 
as to leave time to run long running stress tests on the merged bits.

Is anyone planning to integrate (or sponsor) any big changes in the next 
few days that might significantly conflict with the changes in this JEP? 
It's non-trivial changes in the runtime + GC areas that are most likely 
to conflict. If so, would it be possible to hold off until next week so 
as to improve our chances of getting this feature in?

Thank you,

-Alan
