If someone has a MulticastSocket then they can't get to a 
DatagramChannel to use the alternative join method that is recommended 
to them. If we do JDK-8237191 [1], then I think there will be a more 
complete migration story for the API note. For now, the API note that 
you have for the class description is okay but I think we should leave 
out the proposed note for the method description (a @see is okay of course).
