Minimal JVM

Sorry if this sounds like a bit of a silly question, but what's the
difference between a Minimal VM (Enabled by --enable-jvm-feature-minimal),
and, say, the regular Server VM the build system generates by default? All
it seems to do is define MINIMAL_JVM (Which doesn't seem to be used
anywhere?), set VMTYPE to "Minimal", and if the target OS is Linux, let
strip operate more aggressively and remove everything that isn't needed in
the final shared library, as opposed to only debug symbols as per usual. Am
I missing something here?

best regards,
Julian
