That's a good question. At this moment, there is a 1-1 link between statically linked images and Substrate VM. 
In case there will be more VM's that are statically linked with the applications and resources, I assume it will be beneficial to add a property in the "java." space to reflect this. There are more parts in OpenJDK that can benefit from different treatment in case of a statically linked image.
