I don't think the rename is strictly required as there are other 
examples of other java.* properties that aren't in the specification. 
java.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort is one that comes to mind, there are 
others.

Clearly it would be nicer to have JDK-specific properties be jdk.* but 
changing this one would be annoyance when migrating from from 8u to 9.
