That's an important issue but it's beyond the scope of this JEP, which
is only intended to address version strings and related information.

We'll work out a policy for `javac --release` in due course, along with
policies for similar topics such as the lifecycle of incubator modules
and deprecation-for-removal.  In the meantime, `javac --release 6` will
continue to work in JDK 10.
