> Now that JEP 486 has been integrated, the `javax.security` package implementation dependencies on `System.getSecurityManager`, `AccessController.doPrivileged` and `AccessControlContext` can be removed.
> 
> Most of the changes are straightforward: removal of code calling `System.getSecurityManager()` and unwrapping of code inside `AccessController.doPrivileged`. However, two changes involved slightly more complicated work:
> 
> 1. `javax.security.auth.login.Configuration` and `javax.security.auth.login.LoginContext` do not need to capture the caller's access control context anymore.
> 2. The `SecureSet` implementation in `javax.security.auth.Subject` is greatly simplified because it does not do security checks anymore.
