> @rkennke - to answer your question about testing. The generational mode has failures if the test causes a FullGC to run (this is expected right now). It also looks like there may be an issue with `UseStringDeduplication`, but we haven't investigated this yet. Apart from those failures we pass ~200 out of 234 hotspot_gc_shenandoah tests.

Very nice! Maybe it would be worth to add run configurations to the tests that are expected to pass under hotspot_gc_shenandoah_generational?
