RetentionPolicy.CLASS too broad for TYPE_USE annotations ?

[Srikanth S Adayapalam]

Dear EG,

AFAICT, this issue raised by Markus Keller in the observer's list:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/type-annotations-spec-observers/2013-July/000172.html 

has gone unanswered.

This raises concerns about class file bloat and needs attention.

If this was indeed discussed and I missed it somehow, appreciate pointers.

Thanks!
Srikanth
