It was a major release in terms of features and platform architecture, but it was not in terms of adoption. Project jigsaw at this moment is a blocker for upgrade from Java 8 - majority of developers will move from it only when it sees the ecosystem ready for that step. Now it's not - due to plenty of major libraries and tools that didn't even start the migration or still have "alpha" in their version numbers.
