Amplifying Mike's observations: this exploration is already covered ground.
The JSR-335 EG felt fairly strongly that Optional should not be on any more
than needed to support the optional-return idiom only. (Someone suggested
maybe even renaming it to OptionalReturn to beat users over the head

Perhaps. But we're not going to consume infinite time (and every experience
we've had so far with Optional suggests that it truly is unbounded) correcting
this mistake. Anyway, I won't comment further on

There are some new javadoc tags to let you separate normative from
non-normative, and how it applies separately to the interface vs the
default implementation. They are:
@implSpec -- *specification* about what the default implementation does,
such as "the default implementation throws UOE".
The JEP explicitly states that these would be follow-on projects,
presumably to narrow the scope of this project so that it can get
deployed more quickly.
Once the build system has a model of the project, it will be possible
generate projects configurations for popular IDEs at autoconfig time,
Is there a list of "features" that can be turned on and off? With the
old build, I customize it with environment variables like
SKIP_FASTDEBUG_BUILD, NO_DOCS, NO_SAMPLES, and NO_DEMOS, which shaves
lots of time off the build. Are there equivalent configure flags for
these?
