It is very straight forward to run the automated tests across all platforms these days. I get the impression that no one is guaranteeing to do this straight after integration. It sounds like it is up for deferral if time runs out. The amount of follow-on work that I am hearing about here, and may be for tests, does not make it sound like this JEP is nearly as done as first presented. If there was some expectation that groups responsible for an area would get involved with this issue which I am assured was already known about, then why was it not raised before and made part of the plan ? ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/4073
