I'm not entirely convinced that discussion on this list doesn't get
lost in the endless sea of "RFR: " messages. :)
For reference, here are the adventures I undertook that got me stuck on
jpackage's hard requirements for named modules:

I'd love to use jpackage, but it seems that only classpath applications
or 100% named module applications can work. I'm about 95% named
modules, and some of the modules will almost certainly never be fully
named. I've mentored a lot of open source projects through fully
modularizing, but some projects just don't have the resources to do the
work.
