I read through the changes for modular and multi-release JAR,
they seem fine.

I know you may have further changes here resulting from ongoing
discussion around automatic modules, but I think the following could

The MR JAR can also be put on module path, it is not exclusive to the
class path, or limited to only Modular multi-release JARs on the module path.
