These comments in Main.gmk don't seem to make sense:

 117 # Note: This double-colon rule is intentional, to support
 118 # custom make file integration.
 119 images:: source-tips demos images-only

Do lines 117 and 118 just need to be deleted?

Can't cover the makefiles 100%, Erik would be best to look at some of this, but this is what I have so far:

On JarReorder.java, it seems like you have just deleted a warning that someone explicitly asked for
a class to be included, and also explicitly asked for that class to be excluded.
If we are changing the tool so that exclusion just silently trumps any inclusion request, seems like we
should just do that and delete this message. I'm fine with that, but the if(false) seems a bit terse.

Why are some of the makefiles named with a ".txt" suffix? Like makefiles/profile-includes.txt?

Overall, I have always been uncomfortable with these detailed exclude/include lists when they get
down to listing specific class files, not that your changes are making it any worse, but I do see this
as an opportunity to improve things in the long run by capturing the specifics of our product shipments.

So no objections from me at this time, but at some point we need Erik to check this out.
Unfortunately, everybody on build-infra will be busy for a few weeks trying to get the cutover done. :^(
