That was _one_ of my complaints!

I'm also unhappy that jdk9/dev got poisoned by jdk9/client.  Having
subforests is supposed to prevent that sort of breakage via proper release
engineering.

I'm _not_ unhappy about the mistake itself - it's a classic software
engineering trap we all fall into eventually if we do software long enough.
