If it's only javadoc that's the problem, then that's an easy call:
we should Inconvenience the javadoc authors if it will help a
tiny fraction of java developers.

In fact, even if it is 20 tools (and it won't—e.g., reflection already
handles missing parameter names), it's still arguably a pure
question of whether it's good for developers, as long as the
effect on tool writers is a temporary irritant.
