if it wasn't just policits why did you vote "no"?
Why didn't you reach out to the developers way before the vote, it's unclear to me, since JDK 9 builds were available as early as middle of 2016 and even then, building jdk9 should be possible by somebody with a voting right. Also a lot of stuff was discussed on the development list.
it's not like everything was uploaded a week before the vote.

- karianna 9y agoWe have been in close contact with the developers throughout - we're the Java User Group that runs the Adopt a JSR and Adopt OpenJDK programmes that test these things out as early as we're able. The blog post details one of our global hack days for example.
