Back in 2016 you guys had a discussion about qualified exports to a module
that was not available at compile-time:

I could not find the conclusion to that discussion. How are users supposed
to use qualified exports to some module that is defined by some future
compilation? See https://stackoverflow.com/q/53670052/14731 for a concrete
example.
The decision was: Qualified exports/opens to a non-observable module is
NOT an error (see
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se11/html/jls-7.html#jls-7.7.2-310).
javac will give an on-by-default lint warning instead.
The StackOverflow question says "Because I configured the compiler to
treat warnings as errors (-Werror), the build fails." so the questioner
should look at disabling the lint warning (see
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/tools/javac.html#GUID-AEEC9F07-CB49-4E96-8BC7-BCC2C7F725C9).
