        With the integration of JEP 322 "Time-Based Release Versioning"
        into JDK 10, VERSION_FEATURE is used to set the value of the system properties "java.specification.version" [1] and "java.vm.specification.version" [2] (though the term "major" is still used in VM code, see JDK-8193719).

        We can update the System.getProperties() javadoc to be more specific about the value reported in these system properties.
