When writing these symbol files, CreateSymbols does not keep track where a given package was in a given version, and puts packages to files based on the first version where the package was first introduced. Technically, it should not matter, as the assignment of classes/packages to modules is not based on the file from which the description of the class was read. So, so far, it didn't seem necessary to keep track of package movement for writing of these files. But it is feasible to do so, if the need arises. (When writing ct.sym, it keeps track of the exact package module for every version, of course.) ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18787#discussion_r1621320340
