How upgradable modules are defined.
JEP-261 uses this term but does not define it AFAICS.
make/commons/Modules.gmk defines the list of upgradeable modules, look
for UPGRADEABLE_MODULES. A module is upgradeable can be
overridden/upgraded by deploying it on the upgrade module path
(`-upgrademodulepath` to javac or java). If you want to go into more
details then we should probably move the discussion to jigsaw-dev.

I was looking not for the specific list of modules, but rather the
definition of the concept.
As for the list in that Modules.gmk - those 6 modules are the ones that
since build 118 are not visible from unnamed modules.
That is not a coincidence but I do not follow the logic either. Perhaps
it was discussed here earlier - sorry about my ignorance then.
Thanks,
Ivan
