Yes, I see a lot of places using

The 1st using Class.forName() and 2nd ServiceLoader.load().
I was thinking that the 1st method will not work because Class.forName() on an
internal class in another module will not work after module, but now I believe
the 2nd method would not work also. Is that right?
It would be a bug if ServiceLoader didn't work with modules.
Or writing the class name in a services file automatically exports it as a
service?
Now my preferred order will be
if (loadProviderFromProperty())
return provider;
if (loadProviderAsInstalledService())
return provider;
if (loadProviderAsService())
return provider;
Looking at JDK-8038089 again then I'm not sure why
loadProviderFromProperty is here. If you are limiting this to just
implementations of the Kerberos cipher suites and you only want to use
service providers that are in the JDK image then
ServiceLoader.loadInstalled should be sufficient.
