For example, Dacapo xalan there are 43/1000 classes that are these generated classes.  In Eric's new JMH test, it was more like 51/681.  Special casing "AllStatic" classes to go in non-class metaspace is a bit too risky at this time.  If it does become a problem with limited class metaspace, we can create another attribute to use.

Makes sense
