A user did file a bug for Java 9. Which the response they received from
Gentoo discouraged them and they closed it. Nice!!!!
 https://bugs.gentoo.org/634698

IMHO no way to respond to a user. Their reaction is the exact reason
why. When others showed in #gentoo-java asking about 9. I first stated
I guess no one cares since no bug has been filed. To my surprise one
was, and it was closed due a rude response from Gentoo. They could have
not commented at all.... Bug would have remained open. Doubt that users
will return... Much less help out etc.

My response and attitude is because the only reason Java 9 was not in
tree zero day release, is because of Gentoo itself.

I would have had it in log ago and maintained since. Much less discover
all the issues I am now and fixing them in tree vs overlay.
