We wouldn't deliver an incubator module unless and until there is something to put in it, so this JBS issue is primarily a task to work out what is needed to do this, rather than an independent enhancement. JEP 11 [1] has some good information on incubator modules. We should follow those recommendations that are applicable, with modifications as needed (e.g., we would use "javafx.incubator" rather than "jdk.incubator" as a prefix).
