Hi Martin,

Just a heads up to let you know these have been approved.

I'm planning to propose a new process around approvals soon which will (hopefully) prevent a similar situation from occuring again.

I'm not sure whether we will have a new jdk9 updates maintainer step forward. I'll ask around. Some combination of folks from Google, Red Hat, Azul, etc might make it work. Can I get my own personal jdk9u hosted at http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk-updates/9jdku-SOME-GOOD-NAME to park my backport patches even if don't commit to owning jdk9 updates? Can we get help from Oracle to run cross-platform tests on arbitrary trees like jdk9u in the future (e.g. via jprt) even if Oracle itself no longer supports that particular tree?
