The question should be whether this dependency is absolutely necessary 
and it's not.  Get**Action classes are simple convenient classes that 
you could either use lambda or implement your own one.   AWT and other 
client code in the JDK is another heavy user of sun.security.action that 
you can consider simply have your own convenient class as module-private 
API.  If sun.security.action were private to the security library, they 
would not be used in the client code in the first place (there are 
external code depending on it too [1 for example]).  Now we are 
retrofitting and eliminate unnecessary dependency.
