I think this needs a bit more context. The first part seems to be about 
enumerating the modules in java.se which doesn't need java.se in the 
boot layer. I can't quite connect that to the second part which seems to 
be about the default class loader for delegation (which didn't change in 
JDK 9 so I can't see the 8 vs. 9 issue). Is this something with the 
JBoss module system where it wants to do direct delegation to the 
modules in the boot layer?
