Do we really need a CSR for hsdis? hsdis is a shared library/DLL and
not a "binary" which can be called by the user or executed
stand-alone. The functionality offered by hsdis is only accessible by
already existing command line parameters (like -XX:+PrintAssembly).

The CSR FAQ [1] only mentions (among others):

- Adding or removing a command in $JDK/bin
- Adding, removing, or changing a command line option

which both don't seem to be applicable to hsdis.

Volker

PS: and just to be clear - I'm all for having hsdis in the default images :)
