With this change it is still possible to have separation (nobody stops users from using jcmd with the  filename option, this is still available).
Or do you think that some tool/script developers would maybe (with this change) in future more use the -XX:HeapDumpPath for **_both_** OOME and jcmd, so that customers would run into this scenario ?
