Description
Internally jdeprscan initializes a set of strings of releases supporting deprecation with removal. Currently those releases are JDK 9 and subsequent values. The lists is explicitly initialized and must be updated at the start of a release, which adds to the maintenance cost of starting a new release.

Initializing the list more programmatically could avoid the need for an explicit update for the start of a release.
