That's right, this hasn't changed. The issue is that legacy 
serialization is fundamentally incompatible with strong encapsulation. 
We did the minimum in JDK 9 (and 8uX) so that custom serialization 
libraries using Unsafe had a solution to work with modules. The IIOP 
implementation in the java.corba module was the guinea pig.
