I noticed that when `javafx.animation.pulse` is set, `AbstractPrimaryTimer` always prints a message to `System.err`:
Setting PULSE_DURATION to xxx hz This debug message looked annoying, and I thought it should only be printed when javafx.verbose is true, so I created a PR: https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/pull/1726 Can anyone take a look at it?
