Hmm... sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you're saying? It seems easy to do this, you can't inject code into the vm (especially native code), without using something like a DexClassLoader, basically. Do you instead mean that there are necessary situations when this should be provided? (I think I buy that more, and it fits with the rest of what you're saying better.)
