I'm not suggesting any re-packaging or pre-packaging, just saying that you can revert the changes that we have in the jdk repo so it goes back to .org.objectweb.asm. If we aren't doing that then okay but we still need to change all the tests that use it to remove "@modules java.base/jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm".
