I'm not sure I understand why obtaining a MulticastChannel from
a DatagramSocket is important. Maybe the wording needs to be

If someone has a MulticastSocket then they can't get to a
DatagramChannel to use the alternative join method that is recommended
to them. If we do JDK-8237191 [1], then I think there will be a more
complete migration story for the API note. For now, the API note that
you have for the class description is okay but I think we should leave
out the proposed note for the method description (a @see is okay of course).
