Yes. More than that, guide page says directly that you should not use for-each 
for filtering [1]. Which means that what Remi has reported is not an issue, 
just incorrectly applied for-each iterator, and probably the least effective 
way to filter out the list. But as discussion went on with this in search of 
solution - I still cannot see any other way to fix it than throw 
ConcurrentModification from hasNext().
