Great.

I originally had this as "@since 8 MR 3" but during internal review it 
was requested to use @since 8 instead.  This is what was presented/voted 
during the MR phase.

JDK-8213009 was mainly a refactor of the MSCAPI code to enhance the code 
layout, and to a lesser degree to better support Windows-native PSS 
calls using CNG (MS Windows Crypto Next Generation).  The SunMSCAPI 
provider is a mix of mostly CAPI (Windows Crypto API) and a few CNG 
calls when CAPI couldn't support everything needed.

The SunMSCAPI changes that followed would take significant effort to 
extricate these reorganization changes when backporting later changes 
(e.g. jdk/jdk).  We could have forward ported/merged the 8u41 code into 
OpenJDK 8, but unfortunately I haven't been given a lot of cycles for 
OpenJDK code.

Ok, I've added details to a comment in JDK-8230978.

I'm a bit confused, isn't the webrev already showing this:

---end---

Looking at the index.html and subsequent "Frame" for this file, I can 
see both the rename and the old/new code side-by-side.

There are several comments to make which won't fit in the summary field 
which is supposed to only be one short line [0].

Instead, I have added several items into the comment for JDK-8230978, 
which is the main umbrella bug for the PSS work, and I will add:

     Summary: See comment in JDK-8230978 for details in Oracle JDK 8u
