The extra Names added to KNOWN_NAMES was my doing, and it was based on

extras gave a marginal but measurable improvement in startup to a wide
array of applications as a result, and their inclusion is strictly an
internal implementation detail. If you insist on having them removed I
won't object, but I believe it's an harmless optimization.
There are several non-standard and tool/library specify attribute name
in this list, many should not be interesting to libraries on either the
class path or module path. So I think we should look at pruning that
list. Ideally it would like just standard and JDK-specific attributes as
they are the only attributes that the JDK knows about.
