I am not suggesting link to the CSR, what I was indicating the CSR provides more details  because of the proposed removal.

Comparing to `Thread::stop` is not quite the same, and  the verbiage you are pointing to above was added when the method was [degraded to throw a UOE](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8277861), not  when it was [deprecated for removal](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8277861)

The overall usage of ZipError is extremely minimal in the wild at best, from what I can tell was in a catch statement and was not documented to be thrown by any public  API, though was thrown by ZipFile's internal ZipEntryIterator::next

If this was a more heavily used Exception, it would probably warrant further consideration for additional documentation, I am not convinced it is needed here
