I believe it's rare for existing applications using
System.runFinalizationOnExit.
My analysis on Maven Central ~315K artifacts that show about ~15 unique
artifacts calling System.runFinalizationOnExit while they all come from
only 5 classes.
Does this include test suites?
No. I only analyzed the jar files.
I see a few callers in Fedora in test suites, but only hsqldb as an
actual user in the installed JAR files.
Do you see any issue converting them?
