Description
The VM Options "-Xoss", "-Xsqnopause", "-Xoptimize" and "-Xboundthreads" are obsolete in JDK 9 and are ignored.  Use of these options will result in a warning being issued in JDK 9 and they may be removed completely in a future release.  

The VM Options "-Xoss", "-Xsqnopause", "-Xoptimize" options were already silently ignored for a long time.

The VM Option "-Xboundthreads" was only needed on Solaris 8/9 (when using the T1 threading library).

Dmitry: I've been fixing up various Release Notes to improve consistency in terminology etc and came across this one. I hope you don't mind. These options are all "obsolete" rather than "deprecated" as they are ignored. I've clarified that in the main bug and related issues. If you are okay with this close this issue as "Delivered" and the Release Note will be generated automatically: Thanks.
