The only concern is that it sets a new precedent and so may force 
further enhancements to do version checks when they require a JVMTI 
function added in 1.2 or later. Personally, I wouldn't object to the 
JDWP agent requiring >= 1.2 and keeping things simple.

So for the test, do you plan to remove the jvmSupportsJVMTI_1_2 method 
once hs20-b05 makes it into a promoted build?
