Apologies, you corrected me off-line, TG.allowThreadSuspension calls
VM.unsuspendSomeThreads ( which is a no-op ) and not VM.unsuspendThreads

Ok, thanks! :-)
Isn't this variable unused now:
63 boolean vmAllowSuspension;
Thanks,

I think we should add ‘forRemoval = true’ while here.
I'm good with that, but does modifying the way in which something is
deprecated require a CCC request?

Hi,
after VM.java was encapsulated and moved from sun.misc to
jdk.internal.misc, the rationale for keeping a number of deprecated
methods and constants no longer applies and these methods should be
removed:
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~redestad/8159590/webrev.01/
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8159590
I had forgotten that there was a public API, ThreadGroup, that
exposed some
of this functionality. Sadly I think that we may have to keep this,
for now, and
remove it in 10.
ThreadGroup::allowThreadSuspension should, however, have its @Deprecated
annotation updated with ‘forRemoval = true’, then removed early in 10.
I can’t remember if this was on Stuarts list or not, but I think it
is ok to do it
separately anyway.
