-1 Doing this will hide issues that appear when changes to classlib breaks drlvm. At this stage in the project, I'd rather have such issues be as visible as possible. Such breakages should be relatively easy to fix and any drlvm developer should be capable of rolling back classlib svn until things are fixed if they get impatient. I don't see how it significantly affects reproducibility since it is trivial to check/record the versions of classlib and drlvm svn when an error occurs?
