Two of the more recent unused entries are:
* java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle added in
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/4161b56e0d20, and
* java.lang.AutoCloseable added in
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/3a8158299c51

Both of those were unused at the time they were added, perhaps they were
left over from earlier iterations of the change that was eventually
submitted.
