Comments
The issue was being picked up in the Release Notes because of the release-note label but flagged red since it was a will not fix. Because the release-note=yes label was removed in the parent issue, I've removed the corresponding release-note label in this issue so that it is no longer being tracked in JDK 10 RNs.

Closing as WNF.

I don't see why these Unstable options should have a release note. It seems like the release notes become useless if they are filled with information that is likely irrelevant to actual customers. Just because these options were product options, doesn't imply any customers would have used them. They are not documented anywhere but in the source code.
