My take on a higher level is that Java 9 should be released without Jigsaw and make sure all the toolchains work out of the box, Maven, Gradle, and so on. Java 9 modules smell of NIH and if I really want modules today there are solutions out there: OSGi with many implementations, JBoss Modules, and who knows what else. I'm glad MR pushed back against a meta-module system.
