Yes. We don't want to create another sun.misc-like dumping ground with jdk.internal. We should prefer small, descriptive subpackages for things like this so that, when they are (inevitably) exposed via -XaddExports, their exposure can be limited. I suggest putting this into jdk.internal.vm.annotation, which is also a good place for the ReservedStackAccess annotation envisioned in JEP 270 (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/270). - Mark
