As we approach ZBB (Zero Bug Bounce) for 8u60 I wanted to outline the 
rampdown procedure we will be following.

The expectation for any Java release is that all bugs should be fixed by 
ZBB; only regressions or other critical issues should be fixed after 
ZBB. Starting with Rampdown Phase 2 (RDP2) the JDK release-team must 
approve all bugs fixes (only critical regressions and release stoppers). 
With that in mind, here is the policy for changesets going into 8u-dev 
over the next few weeks:

Mon, May 25 through Sun, Jun 14 -- standard code review policies in effect

* Bug fixes are subject to the usual code review policies (pre-commit or 
post-commit review as appropriate); since we are already past RDP1 the 
focus should be on regressions and P1-P3 bugs.

ZBB code freeze is Mon, Jun 15 @ 1am PDT

Mon, Jun 15 through Sun, Jun 21 -- regressions and critical bugs only, 
pre-commit review required

* All bug fixes require a pre-commit review; an exception is made for 
changesets that do not touch shipping code, such as fixes to unit tests 
and non-shipping examples/toys

* Changes should go to 9-dev first (which may be done with either a 
pre-commit or post-commit review) and then backported to 8u-dev for 8u60 
with a pre-commit review.


Mon, Jun 22 through Sun, Jun 28 -- regressions and critical bugs only, 
tech lead approval required

* All bug fixes require a pre-commit review and also a "+1" from the 
tech lead; an exception is made for changesets that do not touch 
shipping code, such as fixes to unit tests and non-shipping examples/toys

* Changes should go to 9-dev first (which may be done with either a 
pre-commit or post-commit review) and then backported to 8u-dev for 8u60 
with a pre-commit review and approval.


RDP2 code freeze is Mon, Jun 29 @ 1am PDT

* We will fork the 8u60 stabilization repo at this point

* No further changes will be accepted for 8u60 without JDK release team 
approval


This is also summarized on the OpenJFX 8u60 project page:

Let me know if you have any questions regarding this.
