The issue here is that the patch is just one part of changing long 
standing behavior. There is still work needed to flush out other 
interactions in the JVM TI spec, e.g. the multiple agent case and 
whether the Agent_OnUnLoad should be invoked for agents loaded before 
some other agent returns JNI_SILENT_EXIT. Also the late-binding agent 
case needs examination to see if wording is needed for the case that 
Agent_OnAttach returns this status. There is also an update needed to 
the JNI spec as we discussed. As per the mails on core-libs-dev, it's 
not clear that it's worth it. In any case, I don't know if anyone cycles 
to work with you on this. I think the help you are looking for is to 
ensure that all the spec issues are covered, maybe help with the tests 
and testing, and then the process work that is the CSR and release note.
