With JDK 9 now entering the RDP2 phase, the bar for getting fixes into that release is high. A current requirement for JDK 8u fixes is ensuring that the changes are integrated into later JDK release families first [Rule 1, [1]]. If jdk8u ports are being blocked because of this, please let the JDK 8 Update Project maintainers know.
While we wait for the JDK 9 Updates Project to form, I'd like to propose that we allow ports from JDK 10 into JDK 8 Updates where needed. We can open a '9-pool' record to track the JDK 9 port. I'll make the proposed change to the JDK 8 Updates rules next Friday if no objections are heard.
