Most fixes to 7u must go to 8 first. I assume at least part of the reason for this is to have fixes "bake" in 8 before coming down into 7u. But I'm seeing a lot of pushes to 8 followed (sometimes within minutes) by requests to push to 7u. I know there are various schedules to adhere to but it seems to me that the requirement to push to 8 before 7u is not serving any purpose in these cases.

David I agree. With 7-->6, we used to only backport if the change had been in a number of build drops. However, there don't seem to be OpenJDK8 build drops yet; or have I missed something?

No 8 build drops yet, afaik.

cheers, dalibor topic
