Hi Chris,
I'm somewhat surprised to see ReflectionFactory on that list. Can you
share more details around its external use?
ReflectionFactory.newConstructorForSerialization is used by several
popular third party serialization, mocking, proxying, libraries to
construct objects in a non-standard way.

Paul,
I cannot address your general question, but I guess it might be
motivated
by some of my recent preparatory work for JEP 260 [1]. This JEP proposes
to expose a small number of critical API’s that are in the sun.misc and
sun.reflect namespace. Anything not deemed critical should be removed
from these packages, since it should not be exposed. There is also a
significant amount of technical debt in these packages.
