Seems to be a feature for me :) I've never liked the methods that takes a lambda in FieldUpdater. If you're using a FieldUpdater, you are in the basement, you want a reliable performance model. The JLS does not guarantee that a side effect free lambda will be always inlined. >and when do you deprecate >something >when the replacement won't be ubiquitous for 10 years?
