Agreed.  See below.

Just in case this suggestion gets forgotten, earlier this week, I added 
a few notes/links to JDK-8029942, the JDK 10 equivalent for JDK-8000962.

     JDK-8029942: Update JDK_MINOR_VERSION for JDK 10
     JDK-8000962: Update JDK_MINOR_VERSION for JDK 9

If someone feels like including the bugid for JTREG changes, feel free 
to add it.  If so, then we might want to change the synopsis to a more 
general "Update build version values to JDK 10" instead of "Update 
JDK_MINOR_VERSION for JDK 10".
