We never actually deprecated the com.sun.jarsigner package with a
forRemoval=true flag, so while it may be very low-risk to remove these
APIs, I feel that we should not remove it w/o prior notice.
I would suggest adding the forRemoval=true for this package/APIs
instead, and plan on removing it in JDK 16 or 17.
I'm ok with removing the jarsigner options because the man page already
warned that they may be removed.

The CSR "Problem" section has more info on why it's better to remove it now.
