Java 10 ist laut http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk/10/ ab heute in der „Rampdown Phase One“ (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk8/milestones#Rampdown_start):
-
Rampdown — Phases in which increasing levels of scrutiny are applied to incoming changes. In phase 1, only P1-P3 bugs can be fixed. In phase 2 only showstopper bugs can be fixed.
