an answer satisfactory if those who raised it agree and state here that they're ok. In particular, I don't actually see any need to include a half-baked (language-) feature as preview.

I did not want to come across harsh and devalue the many hours of work that went into the project by the various contributors. Please accept my apology. My criticism was in no way intended to target the amber project or the JEP 325 in question here.

From my outside perspective it just seemed to me that a few people raised objections to targeting the JEP to JDK 12, those objections have not (in my perception) been adequately addressed, and then the JEP has simply been accepted to target JDK 12. It did seem bit heavy-handed to me. Brian's and Mark's comments did help to understand the situation better. Thanks!
