I think the main compatibility issue is that people may be relying on 
these classes being present and not realizing it. That is, they might 
have tools.jar but not relaxng.jar on the class path and will only 
notice the issue when they try on JDK 9. So I think that point should be 
tracked for the release notes. I agree that the command-line options 
aren't too interesting but they can be mentioned too.
