CSR seemed to work well here, a good way to get more eyes for the user-facing command syntax. But I know that CSR is not the perfect process either (slow, arduous, and arguably new commands are not a backward compatibility issue).

I don't know about jcmd, but in general new interfaces should be discussed in CSR. We don't want to get stuck with an interface that's difficult to evolve (e.g., have forward compatibility issues).
