That is fine by me. If any one on awt-dev knows of a reason to keep it
they should speak up.

We would be entirely happy if the environment frobbing code were to be deleted.
Should I change my code to do that?

    I don't understand that original assessment.
    Switching to XAWT had no impact on this code except to make it
    pointless.
    i.e it did not prevent its execution.

    I doubt there is any code left in the JDK that will derive any
    benefit from it still being there. All CDE/Motif & Xt related code
    is gone.
    This should have been removed along with it but was doubtless not
    in plain sight to whoever did that.

    So unless I am missing something you could go further and just
    delete it.
