Hi Rob,
thanks for simplifying the down-port criteria to jdk11u. I think the new rules are reasonable and much appreciated.
I'd like to propose another small enhancement which I think could be useful for the OpenJDK community and especially for down-stream distributions.
The "JDK Update Releases" page [1] mentions the following regarding the "JDK Updates Release Schedules":
- The cutoff date for getting approved fixes into this first release is approximately 5 weeks after the RDP2 date for the feature release.
- For the second jdk-updates release, the cutoff date is approximately 4 weeks after the GA date of the first update release.
I think it would be useful to announce these cutoff dates on the mailing list a few days before they occur and communicate the exact cutoff change after the internal security branches have been created. This way, everybody knows which changes from the open jdkXXu repo will make it into the next security update.
Am I right with my assumption, that after such a cutoff, neither merges nor manual integrations from jdkXXu into the corresponding jdkXXu-security branch will happen?
Thank you and best regards, Volker

Given the level of demand for getting fixes into the jdk11u train the maintainers have decided to redefine the approval criteria to the following: "Any reasonable fix which contributes to the stability, security or performance of the affected line should be considered." I should note that fixes which meet the new criteria are not guaranteed approval but we certainly intend to approve more changes than we did under initial criteria with which the JDK Updates Project was set up. As a result of the change I've approved all pending requests. If you have an outstanding jdk11u-fix-request please check it for the jdk11u- fix-yes label and then proceed with your push to the jdk11u forest. [1] I have updated the project page to reflect the new changes.
