JDK 9 no longer ships the runtime libraries as a set of jars (rt.jar

Instead, API is provided for reading the content of such image.
(Hence: "proprietary format").
The BETA feature provides support for working with these jimage files.
So that causes a problem, right? If the jimage format is not spec'd as
part of a JSR that means that we have to reverse engineer a
GPL+CE-licensed implementation in order to emit jimage files. Do I
understand that correctly?
Is this a topic that I should be raising concerns about at the JCP
Executive Committee?
