That case is tricky. Minimally we should put something in the spec and 
javadoc to discourage disabling the event or removing the transformer 
when the agent is retransformation capable and it has performed schema 
changes or added/removed methods at initial load. There are several 
technical solutions possible of course but hard to know whether it's 
worth introducing more complexity for such rare cases.
