For what it's worth, build 8 seems to be available [1], so it's apparently
just a matter of updating the links on 
 (and in our
CI).
As someone participating in the Quality Outreach program, I would like to
suggest that you keep a given build available for download at least until
participating projects are notified there's a new build that replaces the
previous one. I.e. keep JDK 9-ea+7 available until we get an email telling
us to test JDK 9-ea+9. This would make the process much smoother on our
side.

 Hey David,
 It seems the download links on 
https://jdk.java.net/19/ are out of date;
 the link for Linux / x64 in particular [1] is giving me a 404.
 This is making our continuous integration fail, so we might end up
 disabling JDK 19 tests unless we find a solution soon...
 Do you think you could look into this?
