We have created a wiki page to keep track of the JDK internal APIs and its replacement: https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/JDK8/Java+Dependency+Analysis+Tool not sure to understand why Shenandoah is listed in the list related to sun.misc.unsafe, (yes, setting the value of a field or an array location may require to update some GC data structure but it seems far fetched)

As far as i am aware one use-case for Unsafe is to manage some memory off-heap to reduce GC pause times.
