Thanks for looking into it but we should probably wait for Karen to comment on that. I guess I
missed the discussion/decision of fully removing these modifiers (I thought we just don't want to
support them for LW1).

Yes, I'm fine with modifying the tests, I'm just concerned that without testing the implementation
of non-flattenable fields in the JVM, the code will start to rot very soon.
Thanks,
Tobias
