Hi Aleksey,

Thank you for pointing out that I had not acknowledged David's comment.  
I have since entered a response pointing out that users can now use 
AppCDS to get their performance boost because AppCDS code is verified at 
archive time.

Does the availability of AppCDS allay your concerns about this change?

Thanks, Harold
