The webrev isn't quite up to date but just to say that the proposal is 
to only deprecate EXTENSION_INSTALLATION, IMPLEMENTATION_VENDOR_ID, and 
IMPLEMENTATION_URL. It took a while to completely sort out all the 
issues with the extensions mechanism and the JEP was updated a few days 
ago to make it clearer the aspects that are retained.

I agree there this could be good much more nicely in several places but 
it's just a temporary tool for the build and will be replaced completely 
once we have a proper linker.
