I'm sure that's right. However, we are also running the risk of breaking important use cases when JDK9 is released. We're going to have to do a lot of work with developers to make sure that they can still work with JDK9. The problem is that many developers do not even try to run with a new JDK until that JDK is released. So, we have to make sure that we have enough escape hatches. Andrew.
