     old L171:                 case "1.9":
     new L171:                 case "9":
         Should this logic support both versions? Will dropping
         "1.9" here prevent a pre-version changeset JVM from
         being dropped into a JDK for triage purposes?

         Granted we don't often triage 'javac' with different JVMs, but...


+1 on keeping both "1.9" and "9" here. javac can be used independently 
on the rest of JDK to some extent, so support for running it on older 
builds of JDK 9 seems reasonable to me. (I wonder if current JDK 9 javac 
should be prepared for the new version scheme in advance.)
