>> The primary motivation is to make use of libgraal compatible with `-XX:+AOTClassLinking`. This flag relies on the root module set archive created in a training run. If the root module set is different in the production run, the AOTClassLinking [optimizations](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8342279) are disabled. As `jdk.internal.vm.ci` is not resolved in the training run, it must not be resolved in production run. As such, `-XX:+EnableJVMCI` must not cause resolution of `jdk.internal.vm.ci`, otherwise libgraal will not have the startup advantages of AOTClassLinking.
