It felt a little like the "deer staring at the lights of a giant truck
unable to make a move" during the last F2F/call (others like Ivar, David,
please correct me if you had a different impression;-)

https://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/ec-public/materials/2017-01-1011/January-2017-Public-Minutes.html
mentions java.net being decommisioned at least once (jcp.next, JSR 364 and
its precursors also maintained almost everything in java.net JIRA or wiki),
but Ed Burns also talked about it. Maybe "semi-off-the-record" but it
sounded like Oracle is still considering what to do or if they can trust
GitHub as a corporate policy...

Kind Regards,


Werner
