Getting to more important things ... what about JCP and JSR's?

Previously the major release cycles were designed to coincide with JSR's being finished. I take it the idea that a JSR will land in whatever release it coincides with rather than rigidly holding up a release until the JSR is finished. And that the reason for more granular releases is to decrease the time between a JSR finishing and it landing in an official release. Is that about right?

Platform JSR for 18.3 posted yesterday:     https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=383

Now in review, to be followed by ballot, in accordance with JCP process, as usual.

Component JSRs will come in as they always have; through the appropriate platform (umbrella) JSRs.
