That PR was withdrawn, and based on the ensuing discussion and suggestion, is now being handled with a series of PRs for various separate parts of the system.  Follow-up PRs will be provided for the rest of `java.base`, for `java.desktop`, and for XML APIs.  The "LangTools" modules have already been updated.  The "External Specifications" page has been temporarily [disabled][] until this work is complete.
