Will jdk.unsupported be "required public" by java.se? 
No because jdk.* are JDK-specific and should never be required by 
standard modules.


Will you have to explicitly -addmodule jdk.unsupported for class-path 
programs too?
It exports an API and therefore will be treated as a root module, so no 
-addmods. If you develop your own module that uses sun.misc.Unsafe then 
it will of course need to declare its dependency on jdk.unsupported.
