We can still keep the CGLIB API and add a Byte Buddy variant. This would not break compatibility for everyone running on 8.x. For users running on 11.x it would break at runtime, but that will happen anyway. IMHO this is not a blocker for a 8.0.0 release, but it should be fixed soon. Also note that this will also break 6.x and 7.x, so we will need the same fix for those versions. Best regards, Emond
