Since it will be re-evaluated later, do you want anyone who encounters 
the issue to
identify their issue case to those who will be re-evaluating compatibility?

If so, who should be notified of these cases? And what info should be 
provided?

We've encountered the problem with SPECjbb2005.
We can add the system property setting to our runs to move ahead, but 
SPECjbb2005
is a public benchmark. Everyone who runs it will need to apply the same 
workaround.
Admittedly, SPEC performance benchmarks are only used by limited 
cross-section of
the community.
