I realize that there are some actual technical questions here but I can't help but be fascinated by the politics of this.
Are IBM and RedHat just against Jigsaw because of commercial interests in JBoss Modules and OSGI? Do they actually care about the technical merits? How can Oracle get to this point in the process without more buy in from the community?
Also I never knew who was part of the EC. Interesting breakdown on who voted for or against.
Will Java 9 go out without Jigsaw? I imagine if they have already modularized the JDK then it's impossible to release Java 9 without Jigsaw.
