The list may also help when assigning bugs based on which code they are found in. Please note that some directories may have been created or removed between releases. The intention here is to include directories that exists in mainline and other releases (post JDK 9) commonly being updated.

I think that "commonly being updated" refers to both feature and update releases, so I don't think a clarification needs to be provided.

You may want to consider this minor tweak to the sentence: "The intention is to include commonly updated directories that exist in mainline and other releases (post JDK 9)." ("intention here" -> "intention", "exists" -> "exist", relocate "commonly... " phrase).
