the openjdk-9 packages now have the status of a release candidate in
17.10. No need to remove them.

If packages pull in openjdk-9 by default, then they have wrong
dependencies. You should file bug reports for these packages to get the
dependencies fixed.

Title:
  unstable packages installed without warning

Status in openjdk-9 package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

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.
