Erik,
Why bother? What are you trying to achieve?
Either the boot JDK is JDK 9, or it is JDK 10. This should be a clear
decision.
If internally at Oracle, we use 10, then as soon as code creeps in that
relies on 10 features, we've broken the commitment to the community for
allowing 9 as a boot JDK.

Updating the bootjdk requirement for JDK 11 was controversial.
Instead I propose that for now, we just update the bootjdk used for
building JDK 11 at Oracle to JDK 10 and let compatibility with JDK 9
be a best effort from the parts of the community that wants to
support it.

Now that JDK 10 has been officially released we can update the boot
jdk requirement for JDK 11. Cross posting this to jdk-dev to raise
awareness of this rather disruptive change.
This patch changes the requirement on boot jdk version in configure
(and updates the configuration that controls what JDK to use as boot
in Oracle's internal build system).
