Andy's suggestion matches what I did for [Incubator Modules](https://github.com/kevinrushforth/jfx/blob/jfx.incubator/INCUBATOR-MODULES.md). This idea being that, given familiarity with the JDK concept (with a pointer to where you can read more about that), how are JavaFX Preview Features different? 90% vs 95%, lack of javac support, we use a property rather than a dedicated command line option, etc. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1359#discussion_r1941798119
