BTW, what's the reason to continue the new build infrastructure

There are strict formal rules on the build forest, that every
single commit should have a WebRev and a CR. That would be highly
impractical since build-infra is still under active development.
Usually a project is merged to JDK mainline, when it's more or less
ready - at least, this is what we did with Mac OS X port. So in other
words, the new build system should be considered as experimental at
the current moment?
Yes. The decision was made to start pushing the new build system to the
mainline, as a non-default addition, at an early stage to get wide
exposure to different build environments, even though it was not "ready".
