That’d be good.  I expect that will happen during one of those testing cycle.  This will ensure that the tests are correctly updated. We have verified the pit and hotspot tests.
 
Note that the old options continue to work.  Testing won’t find any tests needed to be converted to use new options, if that’s what you intend to find.

the entire source tree which has makefiles, native source file, etc.  Not only java and shell tests.

Only when the old options are removed.
