Title:
unstable packages installed without warning
Status in openjdk-9 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The openjdk-9 packages are packages of unstable early-access preview builds of Java 9.
To users that are not aware of release dates for Java it looks like those are stable ready-to-use packages.
Maybe there should be a prominent warning added that has to be dismissed actively on installation and that warns that these packages contain unstable early-access preview builds.
