Sure. The answer to those questions about @Stable is, as always: it works like that; it was never supposed to do more than it does right now; the time spent dealing with @Stable is better spent dealing with generic problem of trusting final fields, without VM internal annotations. @Stable paves the way in VM internals for that, but it does not mean it should be catch-all feature. -Aleksey
