The criteria for 3rd deferral bulk request bugs: - Not P2 - Not tck-red labeled - Not regression labeled - Not findbugs, parfait, eht, fuzzing labeled -------------------------------------------------------------------- We reviewed these today. We're OK with deferring them. I assume these are for deferral to JDK 9. Please update these so the label says 8-defer-approved and then set FixVersion to 9. Thanks! Kind regards, Mathias
