Java 17 RFC

Notes:

• Do we need subgroup, or just go on to public review phase?
  • Craig McNally We don't have much of a middle ground between TC discussion vs. RFC, except AD.  Should capture decision in the log.  Do we have to loop in others?
  • Jeremy Huff How would we apply to existing modules?
  • Maccabee Levine Let's just to the RFC process "swiftly".  Get to public review immediately.
  • Craig McNally Useful exercise to see how that works?
  • Jeremy Huff We already had lazy consensus on Preliminary Review on Wednesday.  Public Review does need time for input.
  • Craig McNally We've rarely/never? done the "Post Review" process of helping us improve the process.
  • Jeremy Huff Grace period needed?  Subgroup maybe needed to hammer out those details.  Better for culture of project.
    • Julian Ladisch Backend modules are separate, so individual modules could still work as J11.  Teams can share any difficulties during Public Review.
    • Craig McNally Give it maybe a week?
    • Consensus yes, one week.  Keep to our own deadline.
• Jeremy Huff will lead subgroup and get it wrapped up quickly.  Julian Ladisch and Craig McNally participating.
  • Team will add comments to the PR.  Jeremy Huff will also set up a chat.
• Deliverables: 
  • Work with the submitter of the Java 17 RFC to refine and provide feedback.
