If there was previous discussion on this, that revealed some

Hotspot express, and the desire for hotspot to run with different
library versions, would certainly cause complication, but I don't
believe that is an issue now.
Just on that, the library changes are minimal, and if this were to
proceed then they can accompany the hotspot change, as they make their
way into jdk9/dev.
I remember the previous discussion on this and at the time it was just
too troublesome to try to coordinate the change to hotspot + jdk. So a
jdk-only change was pushed to address the last issue in this area, the
issue of changing it from char[] to String was kicked down the road.
