I think that this has always waited until *at least* that previous JDK
is GA.
If you think about it there isn't really any such thing as JDK 9 (or at
least Java SE 9)
until then so it has to be so. Thus ask this again in August.

And do we also need to update the boot JDK to be JDK 9?
Certainly at some point. A good number of refactorings need to wait
until the boot JDK is upgraded. On the other hand, there is an
argument for JDK 9 being a bit further along before using it for
bootstrapping.
