This is only going to get worse after Java 9 and 10 get released.
I imagine by the time we get Java 10, Google might be considering to eventually cherry pick Java 9 features.
They just forked the whole eco-system, and lots of people blindly post links to their Java 8 references, without looking into Android source code, where they are just cherry picking Java 8 features, JVM bytecodes and libraries.
