Just to add to Mandy's comment then another motive for this move is to 
make it easier to support the concept of "upgradable modules" that it 
cited in JEP 220. As part of JEP 220 then we have removed the legacy 
endorsed-standards override mechanism and the proposal is to bring in a 
new mechanism that allows app servers and others to override the version 
of the EE modules that are in Java SE. One module that needs to move is 
the java.transaction module but to get there requires moving the 
java.corba module first.
