Common jdk17u JBS labels

...

  • jdk17u-na Change does not apply to open jdk17u. In general, this is a change done by Oracle for their build or test infrastructure, for their own delivery or in their tests not open sourced. Any other change can also be not of interest to open jdk17u.
  • jdk17u-defer-next Change is generally acceptable, but should go into the next JDK 17 update release. I.e. 17.0.4 is currently collecting fixes in jdk17u-dev, but the proposed change should get into 17.0.5 (the next release) instead.  The maintainers will clear this label when development of the next release (17.0.5 in the example) is started.
  • jdk17u-todo Changes Oracle backported to older releases that are not backported to open jdk17u.  We mostly need this tag to make the "all" filters more efficient.
