JavaMemoryModel: Update on JMM JSR

We got a little back pressure from some people inside Sun about the
lack of guarantees about backwards compatibility, although defining
exactly what that means is a little tricky (and part of the problem).
So that pushed us back a week. If we go public now, the vote occurs
during the middle of JavaOne, which sounds like a bad idea.

So the current plan is to get the JSR posted May 29th, with a EC vote
June 12th.
