The overall feature set is frozen. No further JEPs will be targeted to
this release.

   * Important JEPs have been integrated – Attention Required!
   * *JEP 411: **Deprecate the Security Manager for
     Removal*<https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/411>
       o Deprecate, for removal, most Security Manager related classes
         and methods.
       o Warning message at startup if the Security Manager is enabled on
         the command line.
       o Warning message at run time if a Java application or library
         installs a Security Manager dynamically.
       o Deprecation is in concert with the legacy Applet API (JEP 398).
   * *JEP 407: **Remove RMI Activation*<https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/407>
       o Removal the Remote Method Invocation (RMI) Activation mechanism,
         while preserving the rest of RMI.
       o It was deprecated for removal by JEP
         385<https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/385>in Java SE 15.
   * *JEP 403: **Strongly Encapsulate JDK
     Internals*<https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/403>
       o Strongly encapsulate all internal elements of the JDK, except
         for critical internal APIs such as /sun.misc.Unsafe/.
       o It will no longer be possible to relax the strong encapsulation
         of internal elements via a single command-line option.
