[fedora-java] Mass-bug filing for removed OpenJDK 9 internal APIs

I plan to file bugs against packages which contain hard (i.e. not 
reflection-based) references to internal OpenJDK classes and methods 
which have been removed from OpenJDK 9.  The total number of affected 
packages is around 40.  The bug reports will mention the recommended 
replacements in the public API.

This does not affect features like the support for pointer arithmetic 
and arbitrary memory access, at least not until they are removed upstream.

Comments?
