Q: Why is java.lang.Runtime non-final?

[Eirik Bjørsnøs]

Hi,

Tried to find an answer to this question in JBS, but found nothing:

Since java.lang.Runtime has a single private constructor, it seems
effectively final. Why is it not declared final?

If Runtime was made final it seems we could remove the CheckCSMs test.

Are there compatibility concerns here that I don't see?

Eirik.
