   I think the end goal is good, but I wonder if the solution is at the right level. I wonder if projects should continue to be able to precisely specify the bootclasspath and/or system module path. E.g.:
   -remove the source level validation
   -provide a method somewhere in Java project APIs like:
   ClassPath validateBoot(ClassPath origin, String release)
   which would do the source level validation and would return a sensible CP for given release. Projects would then use this method.
   
   I am however a bit concerned with debugger, whether step into will work for projects that have fallback bootclasspath.
