Thank you all for your responses.
We all agree that full run-time support for modules should be deferred to
Java SE 9, and a strong majority clearly agrees that the whole modularity
effort should be deferred to Java SE 9.
The addition of a module system and the modularization of the Platform is
therefore deferred entirely to Java SE 9.
