If that is the case then I do not understand what is being discussed. To 
support HSX doesn't it mean that all current JVM feature work would have 
to be gated off specific JDK version checks, and that no cleanups 
involving code related to older JDKs could be done? Otherwise someone 
will have to backport all those changes to the HSX code, which seems a 
far more onerous task than the current selective backports. ???
