Sorry, the description of the issue in the email is wrong. There are, in
jdk9
- a few whitespace removals in some gpl headers

in addition to that, in jdk8,
- a few commas had to be *added*

I wrote the email first, and then during rechecking the problems I found
that actually most of them were about *adding* commas, not removing
them. 

Initially, I got a bit confused about the problem, because in jdk9 the
commas were all fixed (trying to apply the requested changes to jdk9
first - they are reported for 8u60), and thought that they need to be
removed because the CRs constantly talk about messed up commas after the
years. I.e. the bug reports all contain some copy&pasted text block that
is completely unrelated :)

That is actually not the case. I got confused by that.

I removed some removal of two empty lines at the end of one of the GPL
headers that accidentally got through some last look at it. Thanks go to
StefanK for that.

Thanks,
