Discussion I've been seeing is Hadrian will not be ready for production use for 8.4. Pulling it in tree is scheduled for 8.4 mostly to make it easier to keep up to date with other changes and to make it easier to work on and test the various missing pieces: as I understand it, Hadrian can't yet deal with all of the various platform special cases, etc. that an actual release requires.
