My original approach had a single name, so it would straightforward to make this happen.  What do you think?

I don't have a strong opinion. This is internal structure, but you're right if someone tries to package a macOS-only JVM they would need some change. If we want this feature to be backported, maybe it's safe to keep using the old name.
