The only test case affected by this code is test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/cds/appcds/jigsaw/classpathtests/BootAppendTests.java, which asserts that such class must be archived, but also asserts that such archived classes cannot be used at runtime. So the first assert seems unnecessary and should be removed.
