I though Alan's note made this clear

"The jigsaw/jake forest has been updated with an initial implementation
of the proposals that Mark brought to the jpms-spec-experts mailing list
last week.

...

The discussion on some of these issues is ongoing so don't treat
anything as final yet. We'll refresh the builds as needed over the
coming weeks."

I believe the idea is to allow people to try out the proposals to see
how (and how well) they work. I'm certainly glad of the chance to
ascertain whether #ReflectiveAccessByInstrumentationAgents is up to
scratch or not.
