If not then it seems we need a separate client forest that feeds into the dev forest after appropriate testing, just like the HotSpot forests. - Mark It seems that it would depend on SQE resources. If SQE could perform manual client testing of the pre-integration build weekly, then we could do weekly integrations of jdk9-dev. - Lana In fact, I think it may be even easier for SQE, here's a paradox. We hope to have nightly builds established, and thus be prepared for PIT very well; weekly routine is easier to plan in advance (and SQE is all about planning); finally, we don't really do full-profile manual testing for PIT. It's all automated + some sanity checks + cursory verification of actual fixes. This last task will be smaller if do it weekly.
