Given the feedback, I have revised the patch to restore the ability to
produce a legacy jre image, but it is still removed from the default
"product-images" and "images" targets. To build it you need to specify
it explicitly as "legacy-jre-image" (or mac-legacy-jre-bundle for the
macosx specific image layout). I still removed the bundle targets for
the jre image as I very much doubt anyone except Oracle was using them
anyway. In addition to this, I also updated the help text a bit to
reflect these changes.
Will this be good enough for those that still need a JRE image?

This looks okay to me, and seems better than the configure option
mentioned in one of the mails.
I think you will still need to do some communication about this change,
maybe to jdk-dev so that folks that may be relying on the jre image know
that they need to build the legacy-jre-image target.
I suspect this area of the build will be re-visited again if the Java
Packager JEP goes ahead as that will need a similar list of modules and
maybe options.
