Hey Alan, very nice. Reads good.
Although not in this patch, I most like the warning about the ServiceLoader#load(Class) method, context classloader, and caching JVM wide! This is also a great improvement in comparison to Java 8! We currently refactor Lucene because of this context classloader stupidness!
