Idea from today's JCP EC call

[dalibor topic]

It's also worth keeping in mind that open source foundations, larger 
projects etc. have typically favored home-grown source code hosting 
sites. Surveying such sites may not be as straightforward as typing a 
query in some search engine.

In addition, the results of surveying hosting sites need to be taken 
with a grain of salt - are you going to count all forks of a repository 
as a single instance of use, or multiple ones? And so forth.

In contrast, it may be much simpler to regularly survey the JCP EC 
members for their own production of JDK 9-specific artifacts.
