Please review the changes for this RFE to mark the java.security.acl API with forRemoval=true. The intention is to remove this API in JDK 10.

The APIs in java.security.acl were deprecated in 1.9 but have had the following warning in the package description for many releases:

"The classes and interfaces in this package have been superseded by classes in the java.security package. See that package and, for example, java.security.Permission for details."

Since there have been suitable replacements since 1.2, there is no reason to retain this package and it should be removed.
