[Also posted on concurrency-interest.] Thanks to all those sending quick feedback, both on and off lists! We're increasingly confident about the value of adding SplittableRandom, so will proceed with integration request. I'm sure that we'll introduce incremental improvements during OpenJDK8 bake-in phase, and apply some of the lessons learned to other code. But we wanted to ensure that this is at least considered for inclusion along with last of the other jsr166-related updates (that are all currently in-process).
Paul Sandoz will follow up on core-libs-dev with the CR details, on his way out to a well-deserved vacation. So I may request help from others for any Oracle process issues that might arise. The CR is far from the end of this process, so I also plan to post follow-ups as it progresses. -Doug
