Quite amazingly, even latest concepts for Java 8 include a "java.corba" *
Overridable *system module.
See page 6 of
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/doc/module-class-loading.pdf

The document only lists "Overridable" as parts of the system that can be
updated and replaced by newer versions, but what if e.g. some platforms no
longer need Corba at all? Do they still need to carry that redundant
"system module" or could some of these also be *Optional*, not just *
Overridable*??
