FYI, one of the to-do items for early in a feature release is incrementing JDK_MINOR_VERSION, in the case of JDK 9, from "8" to "9". Test builds with this change revealed a bad interaction between the TestNG regression tests invoked through jtreg, leading to hundreds of the TestNGs tests in the langtools and jdk repositories spuriously failing after the increment. A fix for the jtreg issue is in the works; we're going to hold off pushing the JDK_MINOR_VERSION increment changeset until the corrected jtreg is available.
