A point acknowledged by
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jigsaw-dev/2017-February/011365.html
and yet it still accepted it as the best location!

Basically, by not being in java.base it isn't useful to the people who
need it. No-one is going to pull in the java.compiler module just to
get this annotation. Jut like the original thread, I think the way
that this is used has been lost.
